The investment arms of the CIA and Google are both backing a company that monitors the web in real time — and says it uses that information to predict the future. The company is called Recorded Future, and it scours tens of thousands of websites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents — both present and still-to-come. In a white paper, the company says its temporal analytics engine “goes beyond search” by “looking at the ‘invisible links’ between documents that talk about the same, or related, entities and events.” The idea is to figure out for each incident who was involved, where it happened and when it might go down. Recorded Future then plots that chatter, showing online “momentum” for any given event. “The cool thing is, you can actually predict the curve, in many cases,” says company CEO Christopher Ahlberg, a former Swedish Army Ranger with a PhD in computer science.

During the test, a youth would attach a device to his penis that is designed to measure his physical sexual arousal. Researchers in another room then play images of adults having sex, followed by images of naked children and infants, as they monitor the youth's level of arousal, according to Robert Holmes, the president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. The images are accompanied by audio of a male voice that describes forced intercourse with male and female infants as young as two, according to Holmes. The youth's genitals are covered by a sheet during the testing, and the youth is monitored by researchers behind one-way glass who measure whether or not there is some kind of stimulation effect, said Holmes. "Male children, often abuse victims themselves, are subjected to this treatment by a government responsible for their care and well-being," said Holmes. The youth subjects are predominantly children involved in the criminal justice system in B.C., he said. Read more: CBC News - British Columbia - B.C. suspends penile sex tests on young offenders
