Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas

An anonymous reader sends this excerpt from The Hill: "The past week's violence in Gaza has rekindled calls for Twitter to shutter the accounts of U.S.-labeled terror groups such as Hamas. Seven House Republicans asked the FBI in September to demand that Twitter take down the accounts of U.S.-designated terrorist groups, such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Somalia's al Shabaab. The letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller was spearheaded by Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), who said Wednesday that the recent events vindicated the request. 'Allowing foreign terrorist organizations like Hamas to operate on Twitter is enabling the enemy,' [Poe said] 'Failure to block access arms them with the ability to freely spread their violent propaganda and mobilize in their War on Israel.'"

And France, and Belgium, and Germany and the US and pretty much any country that did in fact or tried to create an Empire.

Remarkably, when you look at that way you see that humans have been screwing over other humans (and the rest of the planet) for their own perceived benefit for thousands of years.

Sucks to be us, I suppose.
