“The tender was put out earlier this week on the US government’s Federal Business Opportunities website.  It sets out the objectives of automating social media monitoring and ‘synthesising large sets of social media data’.  Specific requirements include ‘audience and geographic segmentation’ and analysing ‘sentiment and trend’.  The software also has to have ‘compatibility with Internet Explorer 8’. The browser was released more than five years ago.  The agency does not detail the purpose of the analysis but does set out its mission, which includes ‘preserving the integrity of the economy and protecting national leaders and visiting heads of state and government’.”
