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."

      That's why Western civilizations must be fair in influencing the geopolitics of the Middle East -

      Nuke 'em, from Egypt to Israel all the way to Pakistan. God damn, those fuckers are annoying. Now we, the world powers America, the EU, Russia, and China can party like rockstars for another half-century!
