If you were 'The Government", wouldn't you?

"The government is increasingly monitoring Facebook, Twitter and other
social networking sites for tax delinquents, copyright infringers and
political protesters."

Fair enough, but surely only the first is a criminal offence, the
second a civil offence, and the third not an offence?

Noel Sheppard is a career right wing liar - it is what he is paid to do -
and Newsbusters is a bought and paid for right wing lie site, run by Brent
Bozell III's Media Research Center, and created by republicans specifically
to offset the (factual) Media Matters website. No one uses Newsbusters or
the MRC seriously other than right wing liars - no one - and they use it to
lie to you.

I expect that what is happening is law enforcement is using these assets
in the normal predictable manner. Proof otherwise will have to come from
someone other than Noel Sheppard or Newsbusters.
