My 2016 prediction was that this would be the year of the great shutdown. This is already coming true, as the gamergate-associated anti-feminist Milo Yiannopoulos had his Twitter account unverified in a very high-profile act of harassment of a journalist in the name of political correctness.
I should have qualified in my prediction that it will continue to be allowed for groups loved by the establishment to coordinate illegal activity on twitter and other social media, while the politically incorrect are punished for thinking bad thoughts.
For example, New Anonymous will still be allowed to use the platform to coordinate illegal ddos attacks on websites which disagree with the government and/or the Jews.
And of course ISIS will continue to be allowed to promote global terrorism.
The family of a Florida defense contractor killed in a November terror attack while training security forces in Jordan is suing Twitter, claiming the company has knowingly allowed terrorist groups such as ISIS to use its social network to spread extremist propaganda.
According to court documents filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco, Lloyd “Carl” Fields Jr. was killed by a Jordanian police captain he was training at the International Police Training Center in Amman, which is operated and funded in part by the U.S. State Department. ISIS took credit for the attack, which also took the life of another American contractor, according to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit blames Twitter in part for the attack, claiming it allows extremists to recruit and spread violent ideology on its platform.
“For years, Twitter has knowingly permitted the terrorist group ISIS to use its social network as a tool for spreading extremist propaganda, raising funds and attracting new recruits,” the suit says. “…Without Twitter, the explosive growth of ISIS over the last few years into the most feared terrorist group in the world would not have been possible.”
According to the lawsuit, ISIS has an estimated 70,000 Twitter accounts, at least 79 of which were “official,” and it posted at least 90 tweets every minute.
That’s not how I would have framed it. “Promoting propaganda” isn’t technically illegal. What is illegal is that they use it to recruit and coordinate movement of terrorists across international borders.
They are also presumably using the DM function to coordinate terrorist attacks. With the case of Jewish terrorist Joshua Goldberg, he had an ISIS flag and a picture of the ISIS leader on his account, and attempted to instruct an FBI agent to carry out a terrorist attack. Before this, the account had been retweeted by one of the hajis who attacked the Muhammed cartoon contest in Texas. It has never been revealed whether or not he was DMing with them, but I have suggested Goldberg may actually have planned that attack.
In fairness to Twitter, Anonymous recently made it much more difficult to report ISIS accounts, as they mass-reported all accounts with Arabic writing and said they were ISIS, thus causing Twitter to stop investigating reports of ISIS accounts.
