Social media monitoring is not a typical part of most security clearance background investigations - but it could be. And for at least one government agency, there has been a security clearance denial based on social media monitoring. While the chances of a social media monitoring related denial are incredibly rare, it could happen. The list of possible sites that could be monitored include:
Social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn)
Microblogging websites (Twitter)
Blogging and Forums (Wordpress, Tumbler)
Picture and Video Sharing
Music Sharing
Online Commerce Websites
Dating websites (Match.com)
Geosocial network websites (TripAdvisor)
News and media websites where people can comment
