I would expect the FBI to be able to tell whether or not that joke is criminal behavior within their legal jurisdiction.

- mhoad 4y agoYou seem to have some incredibly strong opinions on how you think national security is supposed to work while not seeming to understand even the basic functionality of the role and remit of the FBI. It’s ok to just say you don’t know sometimes.
- philwelch 4y agoThe basic functionality of the role and remit of the FBI does not entail helping Twitter enforce its terms of service. They’re supposed to be a law enforcement agency that performs criminal investigations to support federal prosecutors, not a secret police force that engages in extrajudicial measures against political dissidents, though I suppose Fred Hampton and Martin Luther King would have something to say about the latter.
