Don Reisinger of CNET.com reports Tuesday that the CIA may start spying on social media conversations. Reisinger writes, visible Technologies, a company that monitors online social activity and packages the findings for clients, has forged a "strategic partnership" with In-Q-Tel, the CIA's not-for-profit investment arm, to give the organization insight into social media.

For more information about these companies and about their partnerships with the CIA, please visit Reisinger's original article here.
