Police in Egypt want to build a computer system that helps them track what the country's citizens are discussing on social media.
To do this, police are considering proposals from seven unnamed international companies (http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/06/02/uk-egypt-media-idUKKBN0ED1ED20140602) to help them monitor messages of government dissent, calls to protest or strike, immoral or obscene behavior and anything that advocates crime or terrorism, according to a recently leaked document. Multiple reports say Egyptian Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim believes the system would **t affect freedom of expression (http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/02/egypt-police-monitor-social-media-dissent-facebook-twitter-protest).
