Twitter as a Threat to Civilization: Jihadis delight

It turns out that someone figured out how to make Twitter a threat to civilization.

The funniest part, though, is that the GOP Convention in St. Paul provided them with the model!

Then the presentation launches into an even-more theoretical discussion of how militants might pair some of these mobile applications with Twitter, to magnify their impact. After all, "Twitter was recently used as a countersurveillance, command and control, and movement tool by activists at the Republican National Convention," the report notes."The activists would Tweet each other and their Twitter pages to add information on what was happening with Law Enforcement near real time."
