Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter

Filed under: internet, web, fun, geek

Just read it on Slashdot: US Army Sees Twitter As Possible Terrorist “Operation Tool”

A chapter titled ‘Potential for Terrorist Use of Twitter’ notes that Twitter members reported the July Los Angeles earthquake faster than news outlets and activists at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis used it to provide information on police movements. ‘Twitter is already used by some members to post and/or support extremist ideologies and perspectives,’ the report said. The report goes on to say, ‘Terrorists could theoretically use Twitter social networking in the US as an operation tool.’

Then, the Fail Whale will save us :-)

PS: We just need to get Jack Bauer in touch with the Fail Whale.
