The answer is absolutely NO ! All of the agencies have a history of magnifying any and every move on privacy. An example would be they are allowed to tap a person's phone calls if they have obtained a warrant. Then they "slip" and fail to get a warrant yet still tape conversations.
Then they continue to eavesdrop on everything that person does even if it is not warrantied. To me they should be required to justify before a judge their intentions and suspicions. They should be allowed to monitor suspicious people ( suspected terrorist) but not everyone in general. Some people joke in a sick manner having no thoughts of doing anything. Some say things to get attention but do not have evil intentions.
So unless the FBI can show cause they should not be able to monitor anyone they want. Some would use the right to monitor wives, husbands, girlfriends, boyfriends etc for their own private reasons. They should still get a warrant.

The censors never give up, and emerge out of every crack. Look at this new film, exposing horrific corruption in Australia:

Try to find a single reference to it in the Australian media, online or offline. There is none.
We have Sopa, Pipa, MegaUpload and now Twitter. Depressing.
