You Know Who Else Collected Metadata? The Stasi. - ProPublica The East German secret police, known as the Stasi, were an infamously intrusive secret police force. They amassed dossiers on about one quarter of the population of the country during the Communist regime. But their spycraft -- while incredibly invasive -- was also technologically primitive by today's standards. While researching my book Dragnet Nation<http://juliaangwin.com/dragnet-nation-available-for-pre-order/>, I obtained the above hand drawn social network graph and other files from the Stasi Archive <http://www.bstu.bund.de/DE/Home/home_node.html> in Berlin, where German citizens can see files kept about them and media can access some files, with the names of the people who were monitored removed. http://bit.ly/N10T8C Source: http://www.propublica.org/article/how-the-stasi-spied-on-social-networks See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/N10T8C+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
