We Can’t Make This Stuff Up: “Twitter is a tool for terrorists”

October 28, 2008 By: cboyer Category: We Can't Make This Stuff Up No Comments →

Once again, we here at yooRyoo - who typically enjoy making fun of web 2.0 technologies - have stumbled across a news report that just begs believability:

The US Army Intelligence report has decidedly put Twitter on terror-alert, indicating that terrorist networks could be using this tool for malicious purposes!!! A quote from the report states:

Twitter has also become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences.

Socialists, vegetarians and atheists - oh my! Remembering the 140 character limitation of Twitter posts, these horrible agencies would be forced to not only be succinct, but imagine having to manage all of the “follows” and “removes”…it boggles the imagination. I wonder if Jihadists get annoyed by that horrible “fail whale” image (follow the fail whale at: http://twitter.com/failwhale)…

Fail Whale for terrorists

Again, we can’t make this one up - it’s actually true!
