Could governments predict social unrest by analysing social media communications?

Asked by flutherother (35048points) February 5th, 2013

Google knows when there is an outbreak of flu faster than the CRC through analysing search results. Could the government in a similar way learn of public discontent and potential civil disturbance by monitoring the social media such as Twitter, Google and even Fluther?
