In 2013, the Department of Homeland Security released a list of over 370 words that they consider "hot terms" in relation to terrorism, cyber security, drug wars, health and infrastructure. The NSA, and other American security institutions, actively scan social media for the appearance of any of these terms and use algorithms to evaluate the danger of a post.

So, if you've shared one of these words, such as Cyber terror, China or Cocaine, please note that your post has been evaluated. If you've tweeted, updated or posted many of them, you may have been placed on some watchlist.

I created an animation showing all words in an endless web with Three JS and Javascript.
