From the original article:
Fearing that terrorist or criminal networks could use the games to communicate secretly, move money or plot attacks, the documents show, intelligence operatives have entered terrain populated by digital avatars that include elves, gnomes and supermodels.
This is the most ridiculous rationalization for spying ever. What about Xbox and Playstation's networked games? What about the ALL the various chat/instant messaging networks out there, like Line, Kik and Snapchat? What about all the social networks that could be used by bad people? There are damn near infinite ways to communicate in the world today. Does the USG want to tap them all?
Our tax dollars at work.
And don't forget--the vaaaast majority of WoW players and Second Life users are NOT terrorists (not to mention those of us who have had our online and phone data swept up, as well). However, now, we are all now potential suspects.
