Turns out the US Empire is keeping an eye on Twitter (Yahoo). Perhaps an inadvertent slip, but listen to the wording for an idea of what gives the Empire the heebie-jeebies presently:

"Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences," the report said.

That ought to tag pretty much everyone who uses Twitter. They also take the opportunity to decry how GPS is now easily available. And how "terrorists" are discussing "voice-changing software".

That last part was so interesting I had to re-evaluate the market for voice changers. And by voice changers I assume they mean software implementations. I found pretty much the same alternatives as suggested in the Wikipedia article. None of them were all that impressive even if they did work as advertised. Modern PCs seem to finally have made real-time effects truly effortless. And with a growing list of VoIP and MMO:s on the market there may finally be a use for modulators, besides pranks. I will definitely consider using one in the future. Especially since it seems to bother the powers that be. Lets all thank the US military for reminding us to stay secure.
