WASHINGTON (Reuters)The U.S. Justice Department convened a meeting with social media companies and other groups on Wednesday to discuss ways to counter the use of cyberspace by militant extremist groups like Islamic State and support strategic counter-messaging campaigns.

The Obama administration has struggled to craft a cohesive strategy to diminish the online presence of Islamic State, which uses Twitter Inc and other Internet platforms to spread violent propaganda and radicalize new recruits.

"Militant," "extremist," groups? We know how long that will be confined to Islamic State don't we? That's right. Just until right-wing extremism, ie, anything to the right of Cokie Roberts, needs taking down.

2016 will be the year of the internet shutdown. Jim should probably migrate FR to servers in Lithuania.

So, Bronco’s NSA has time to collect every citizens phone calls, every chat, every on line social mumble, but is woefully unable to scan tweets for islamic terrorism. Damn, that’s quite the conundrum.

Execute Op Plan “Hidey Hole”!!!!

Extremist group or not, free speech is free speech.

But DOJ has pointed out that Conservatives are more dangerous than AQ or ISIL.

Not surprising when the Obama administration is ideologically sympathetic to the Islamic State...

The already cooperated w/ the German government to censor the news in Germany re New Year’s Eve attacks.

We knew this was coming here. Well, it’s here.

Not sure that’s a good idea. Our posts will be all filled with strange looking characters.

militant extremist groups like Islamic State

Why not just call it Muslim terrorism?

[hal ogen]

Extremism??? F U

[Vigilanteman]

For starters, BO could stop supporting Islamist leaders like Morsi and start supporting leaders like el-Sisi and King Hussein of Jordan.

I can tell you exactly when this is likely to happen:

It was a joke about the software glitch we got.
You should try to think things over a little before
throwing an FU at someone. Use your head. It’s that
big lumpy mass three feet above your ass.

I love that pic.
Because I was there one time, 1970 IIRC.
But the town signs were welded on, LOL

This is why America needs secure encryption.
To keep our friends close and our enemies confused.
