Terrorist hunting or just looking for a reason to play World of Warcraft at the taxpayer’s expense? According to documents leaked to The Guardian by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, the US National Security Agency and British Government Communications Headquarters deployed spies into multiple MMOs including World of Warcraft. The practice, dating back to 2008, monitors game communities on the grounds that terrorists may be using chat channels to plot activities. Terrorist activities of a terroristic nature, no doubt.
In addition to World of Warcraft, the agencies have also targeted Second Life and Xbox Live services. The documents don’t provide much evidence that the services are actually being used for terrorist activity.
