Last night was the deadliest mass shooting in US history:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-nation-live/liveblog/live-updates-orlando-shooting/
I just read that ISIS & supporters send out over 90,000 tweets a week. They also have countless youtube videos. Youtube has a policy of deleting any video that shows illegal activity, but apparently that does not include torturous ISIS executions.
The question of why someone hasn't sued Twitter yet occurred to me. Earlier this year, someone did:
http://www.fastcompany.com/3055539/...-lawsuit-brought-by-the-woman-widowed-by-isis
And as that article points out, the plaintiff is almost certainly going to lose.
Twitter is a US company, publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange: https://investor.twitterinc.com/
Here are their financials: http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/twtr/financials
Individuals who repeat anything a terrorist says will go to jail, even if they are his attorney: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynne_Stewart
But somehow that doesn't apply to corporations.
The Feds have every right to shut down Twitter, seize their assets, and put someone in jail for running a company that supports terrorism. But that's never going to happen. There's some sweet profits in running the ISIS Communication Network, and this country is ruled by corporate profits. The law, the government, the people...everything else is a secondary concern. We live in the United States of Corporate Profits. and pledge allegiance to the shareholder value for which it stands.
