How about a facebook account?

I totally agree. You don't destroy a source of information. I'm not sure why people don't get that.

No infiltration, just drone strikes based on a sim cards metadata.

the NSA often locates drone targets by analyzing the activity of a SIM card, rather than the actual content of the calls. Based on his experience, he has come to believe that the drone program amounts to little more than death by unreliable metadata.

makes me feel like our benevolent corporations should restrict encryption and/or shut the internet down.

Five kids in a sandbox, only one is an asshole and starts shit with the other kids, you go in and destroy all of their sandcastles. Not collateral damage?

ThisWeirdIndividual

That's used to spot and monitor sympathizers.

Anonymous is not helping anyone by destroying these information mines.

DJexs

Give me one single proof or example of this concept even working. If encryption is the problem like MSM is saying then recent attacks have nothing to do with the unencrypted twitter. So that means twitter isn't a information mine like you claim because the mainstream media claims isis is using far more sophisticated encrypted means of communication. So who is wrong here? Is ISIS using twitter and unencrypted forms of communication to talk about terrorist plots and bombing like you claim or is ISIS using encryption for this purpose and twitter is entirely useless? Also because of things like TOR and other forms of anonymity people can contact the ISIS twitter account anonymously meaning your claim that its for information gathering is total bullshit because it wouldn't catch anything.

Sword_monk. is that you?

cynoclast

No it doesn't. There's an office chair that tweets when its owner farts on it. ISIS having a twitter means exactly nothing.

Sauce please.

ciano

They have a twitter? Holy shit, anybody got a link?

Orbitrix

All this makes me think is that the person who wrote it doesn't understand encryption, proxies and TOR. Don't want the FBI showing up on your doorstep the same way they can't find ISIS? Never post on social media with your real name and use TOR. Your privacy online is nobodies responsibility but yours.

RedWillRise

Christ... it was right in front of us this whole time.

MrHighBrow

When you get trained by the CIA, you might have a free tricks up your sleeve.

toobaditworks

If I was CIA I'd want free tricks someplace else if you naw mean.

sorry

Craxic

Yeah, I definitely don't agree with that. Everyone knows how much crime there is on the internet, so its not like the government can catch you if you know what you're doing. And did it occur to anyone that maybe the government wants ISIS to have a fucking twitter account? Makes it easy to catch supporters who don't know what they're doing with privacy, and its a source of information. We may be being played for fools, but I don't think this is why.

deathcomesilent

Bingo, you get it, though I don't think there is any true anonymity on the internet. They call this concept a honeypot, but it also serves as an outlet to spread fear and justify ongoing conflict with regions that are heavily muslim (aka the geographical regions that also happen to have tons of oil and opium production).

Donald_Trump

This is a great source.

CarlosShyamalan

Tor and shit is still a thing for terrorists... I mean in the west where everyone has an official adress and all it cant be too hard to find the one that a specific IP belongs to, but if someone in Syria connects to some antenna in the middle of nowhere, the only thing they know is that he was somewhere in the vicinity of that antenna at the time. I really dont think that that out of all the strange things going on around daesh is the one that should alert us that theres something fishy going on...

Amateur_Wizard

find the antenna, which you can, and destroy it.

easy

CarlosShyamalan

Too much collateral just to stop them from tweeting dont you think? Daesh isnt the only one using the internet in these parts you know?

New_years_day

Na, man. ISIS is protected by the 1st amendment..

2drunk

No ISIS is protected by the current administration.

revofire

Except if I say something not nice about the Terrorist in office. Then that's a fully arrestable offence.

New_years_day

Not if you go join ISIS, you would probably be able to add the full cabinet to your facebook.

revofire

Lol yeah. Amazing how fast they take down anything they deem offensive but ISIS is allowed to recruit openly.

Hitchslapper

Obama is just a puppet. Don't waste your hate on him.

revofire

Agreed. I always knew this but I don't know who or what group to direct it against since the puppeteers will not be so blatant.

PM_nudes_pls

Look at the difference of what he "promised" and what he actually did. not just the fact that its different, but the underlying philosophical and ethical contradictions between the two. it really makes you think

did he have these plans all along, meaning he is a puppet of the true rulers and was one all along?

Was it that he just so happened to win, and was forced to change by those in power? would it have mattered who won if this is the case? if so, how long has it been like this?

was it that he changed his views when more information was made available? or is it that he took the path he took from a weak understanding of new information?

New_years_day

Before he got elected he had to believe the shit he was talking about, or else he wouldn't be able to sell it.

Who fucking knows though, there is shit we think we know, shit they tell us, then there is probably a whole other spectrum of shit we couldn't even fathom.
