US Army Sees Twitter As Possible Terrorist "Operation Tool"

[REDZULU2003]

A draft US Army intelligence report has identified the popular micro-blogging service Twitter as a potential terrorist 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.

governments don't like net one bit, it was first formed as a tool for them, now they don't have the control anymore, they probably don't like documentaries such as Zeitgeist or Money as Debt, they know people can get together in bigger quantities and form rallies that cannot be stopped by teargas.

Ahhh....just a new server bank or two and all will be happily monitored...just like it all is now.
Not one byte of data gets transmitted without Ol' Big Bro' knowing about it, believe me.
There is no such thing as privacy, in any form whatsoever, anymore.

Well the thing is that if the conscience of people grows with looking at documentaries, reading books and going to public lectures, what can they do?

Arrest thousands of people?
In past times knowledge was scarce and ones who possessed it were few and apart, and could easily be controlled.
Now days a regular Joe can obtain revelation on important issues of how we are governed and controlled by few skilled and invisible people.
Only if he can get away from the all alluring media that pervades our lives and easy to access porn and films...

Yup.
Loose lips sink ships.
When I was in Iraq, I saw fellow soldiers get arrested, and court martialed, because they felt the need to post on myspace, what they were gonna be doing tomorrow.
Damn right, some fool can twit some sensitive information, and cost lives.
