Its almost humorous that you portend to know exactly what Echelon, the largest top secret international electronic espionage program in the world does, that you are no longer interested in hearing about it, and that you think it sniffs only international data. Echelon IS a global censor wall. Carnivore is a cover for it (and part of the larger network) -- think about it. If you are in the hubs, routing all internet traffic through a government system, do you trust the CIA to only listen?

Think 1984, without the Ministry of Truth having to hand change articles. I've seen it in action.

For instance, the front of spam fighting is a tough one and it looks as though researchers are now turning towards an ontology or taxonomy based solution to fight spammers. The concept is also on the forefront of artificial intelligence and progress towards an application passing the Turing Test and creating semantically aware applications. The article comments on uses of Wikipedia in this manner:
"... spam filters block all messages containing the word 'vitamin,' but fail to block messages containing the word 'B12.' If the program never saw 'B12' before, it's just a word without any meaning. But you would know it's a vitamin," Markovitch said. "With our methodology, however, the computer will use its Wikipedia-based knowledge base to infer that 'B12' is strongly associated with the concept of vitamins, and will correctly identify the message as spam," he added.
