Not even MMORPGs are safe today, with terrorists infiltrating every dark corner of the virtual world they possibly can. Or, at least, that’s what the U.S. intelligence community thinks. To “counter” things up, the specialists across the ocean are developing some kind of new software, which is supposed to detect any sort of violent extremists that might try to enjoy the likes of World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Lineage and Co.

According to a report from the Director of National Intelligence, this Reynard project will automatically profile each type of gaming behavior, and, after it has developed a strong database, ir will “detect” any suspicious actions that might take place in Azeroth and beyond.

This is a complete bullshit. Each MMO has its own bunch of retarded kids that enjoy ganking, griefing, or generally trying to ruin other people’s fun. How the hell will an automated software tell the difference between an avid ganker that is, actually, a fat and horny 15 years old Chinese farmer, and a would-be Osama bin Laden trying to recruit folks for the next terrorist anti-American attack? Or how the fuck will it manage to tell the difference between a role-playing guild of assassins from Defias Brotherhood and a group of Muslims?

American “Intelligence” my ass. Via Wired
