If you're a die-hard World of Warcraft player, you probably aren't too concerned about having your online identity known by others; how would you feel if you knew that big brother was monitoring your MMO action? The U.S. government is beginning a program that will monitor the most popular online MMOs so as to identify terrorists online.

According to Wired, the new initiative called the Reynard project aims to "automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world," and from there move to identify those individuals who could be classified as threats.

More information included in the article:

The cultural and behavioral norms of virtual worlds and gaming are generally unstudied. Therefore, Reynard will seek to identify the emerging social, behavioral and cultural norms in virtual worlds and gaming environments. The project would then apply the lessons learned to determine the feasibility of automatically detecting suspicious behavior and actions in the virtual world.

If it shows early promise, this small seedling effort may increase its scope to a full project.
Reynard will conduct unclassified research in a public virtual world environment. The research will use publicly available data and will begin with observational studies to establish baseline normative behaviors.

The Reynard project, along with other similar data-mining programs, are being initiated by Congress so as to better evaluate possible terrorist threats.

Really, this isn't any different than the government monitoring your phone calls, emails or text messages. Does that justify it, though?

Consider this: The new initiative will require funding, which will come from citizens, so whether you like it or not, you will be paying the government to monitor you and your friends on World of Warcraft and other massively popular MMOs.

This is just another way in which our country's government begins taking more of the freedom that America is known for and giving back additional "protection" against terrorists the government really can't stop. Happy gaming.
