'The pen is mightier than the sword'.
The tweets are valuable propaganda to ISIS.
They are consumed by billions of young impressionable minds all over the world, inducing them to 'take up the cause'.
ISIS does not have the right to 'free speech'.
Stopping ISIS from spreading their selfie vids of how they burned people alive and 'You can too!' - is not controversial.
- i_cant_speel 9y agoUnbelievably, it looks like it is controversial.
- MrZongle2 9y agoCensoring terrorist groups isn't controversial. The vague, shifting notion of what constitutes "terrorism" and how that definition may be abused in the future, is. Consider, if you will, what a modern-day Sedition Act of 1918 ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Act_of_1918 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition_Act_of_1918 ) would look like.
- WillPostForFood 9y agoIf posting murder vids and torture photos is an effective recruiting tool in your country, you country has problems it needs to address. Banning the tweets is attaching the symptom, not the cancer.
