SEA has a history of doing much more than attempting to offset perceived propaganda[1]. With in that site is dozens of gigabytes of logs from Bluecoat[2] proxy hardware that sat in datacenters for Syrian ISPs.
A good amount of what is contained in the logs is things like porn searches, more porn, porn. But amongst the typical naughty bits things like religious queries for Christians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims were being recorded.
Telecomix[3] helped to leak the log-set, and as it stands it is _the_ example of how state entities monitor peoples of 'interest.' Much of these people are long since dead, killed early on as they were the most public[4].
