Beware Facebook-Twitter users! You could be monitored

New Delhi: Here is a word of caution for Facebook and Twitter users. The private correspondence on the social networking sites could be tracked by the government now.
?
Referring to the use of social networking sites during recent terror attacks in the country, the Ministry of Home Affairs has asked the Telecom Ministry to keep a close watch on the increasing popularity of such sites.
?
Following the Home Ministry?s recommendations, the telecom ministry has decided to raise the vigil on all such social networking sites. However, it has made clear that keeping a track on the sites would not mean interfering into the personal accounts of the users.
?
According to the sources, there are plans to seek help of these sites to hold data about their users? movement so as to thwart people from using this medium in carrying out illegal activities. And in doing so, only those accounts will be monitored which are found involved in any suspicious act.
?
?The telecom ministry has been asked to seek information of all such accounts on any networking site with the help of local police or intelligence agencies,? they said.
?
?There are some set parameters to raise the vigil on any given social network site. For instance, if there is a sudden surge in conversation ratio of a user on a social networking site and later it gets reduced drastically, that may raise doubts,? said an official.?
?
?Or if any user from India is found to be in regular and continuous contact with any social networking account abroad. The monitoring of a particular account can be undertaken if the individual starts using sign or code language or if he starts changing accounts on the networking site,? he added.
