Tokyo Rose 2.0: White House Asks Silicon Valley For Terrorism Help

theodp writes: While past U.S. Presidents have had to contend with radio propaganda, President Obama also has to worry about online propaganda. On Friday, U.S. national security officials met with leaders in Silicon Valley seeking ideas for ways to curtail terrorists' use of social media and to use technology to "disrupt paths to radicalization to violence." The closed door meetup, which included Apple CEO Tim Cook and top execs from Facebook, Twitter and Google, occurred on the same day the White House also announced the creation of the Countering Violent Extremism Task Force, which will focus on using social media to counter online propaganda by Islamic State and other terrorist groups, and the State Department promised to revamp its online counter-messaging campaign.

    Can those student's who attended his Constitutional Law class when he was teaching get a refund?

    IF you believe he ever *actually* taught Constitutional Law ANYwhere... There's no evidence of any such teaching and quite a number of people who attended
    Columbia and other schools that Obama *claims* to have attended, have zero recollection of him... VERY suspicious...
