"along with social media postings, have become a driving factor in the FBI’s uptick in arrests of people suspected of ties to al-Qaida and the Islamic State." We did this to ourselves. So many people have had their lives ruined or been fired from their jobs for merely stating an opinion on social media. It's not really that surprising that the government is now using this data to determine if you are a security threat. We've create a culture where you are guilty if enough people on social media think you are guilty. Even if scientific evidence comes out proving the contrary. It's fine when it's against someone you don't like, but when the same exact data is used against you, it's now a problem???? Maybe we should be thinking about the freedom of speech for all instead of only for a specific group of people that fit the political narrative of day.
