I doubt they do..however IF some poster started talking here like those boys in Boston..and got reported to authorities as suspicious..WHO KNOWS??

Sounds like Red Flagging certain people..not the whole site to me..of course that would mean the Site would have to be diligent too..which I hope they are!!

I'm a Federal Employee and I ready City-Data. Reading it now as a matter of fact. Ignore the black helicopters hovering overhead and the vans parked across the street.

They undoubtedly do. They monitor public opinion and to some extent even try to control and channel it. The government is gets their orders, too.
