Download all your tweets by Ajay Ohri.
From the post:
Now that the Government of the United States of America has the legal power to request your information without a warrant (The Chinese love this!)
Anyways- you can also download your own twitter data. Liberate your data.
Have you looked at your own data? Go there at https://twitter.com/settings/account and review the changes.
Modern governments invent evidence out of whole clothe, enough to topple other governments, so whether my communications are secure or not may be a moot point.
It may make a difference on whether your communications stand out, such that they focus on inventing evidence about you.
In that case, having all your tweets, particularly with the tweets of others, could be a useful thing.
With enough data a profile could be constructed so that your tweets come within, +- some percentage, of the normal tweets for your demographic.
I don’t ever tweet about American Idol (#idol) so I am already an outlier. 😉
Mapping the demographics to content and hash tags, along with dates, events, etc. would make for a nice graph/topic map type application.
Perhaps a deviation warning system if your tweets started to curve away from the pack.
Hiding from data mining isn’t an option.
The question is how to hide in plain sight?
