Is Twitter Aiding and Abetting Terrorism?

wiredmikey writes with word (and the following extract from a CNN report) that "Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, director of the Shurat HaDin Israel Law Center, sent a letter to Twitter on Thursday asserting that the company is violating U.S. law by allowing groups such as Hezbollah and al Qaeda affiliate al-Shabaab to use its popular online network. ... In her letter, Darshan-Leitner noted that Hezbollah and al-Shabaab are officially designated as terrorist organizations under U.S. law. She also cited a 2010 Supreme Court case — Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project — which upheld a key provision of the Patriot Act prohibiting material support to groups designated as terrorist outfits."

I don't really care what you think.
You can skip over my posts if you want. See, there's this thing that if you actually log in, you can set me as "foe" and you won't see my posts at all if you set your "foe points" correctly.
In short, either get an account or fuck off and stop being a whiny little cunt.
