Canadian military finances technology to collect social media data despite claims it was shutting down such efforts

Six months after National Defence claimed it was shutting down efforts to collect social media data of Canadians, the military was back again developing new technology to accomplish such tasks.

Defence firms and other companies were given almost $10 million to develop new ways to analyze social media and sift through accounts.

Is it me or is there just a lot more crap than ususal going on in Canada this week?
