The facts which Wittes gives are way off. He links to "civil suits against the companies who provide service to ISIS and other bad guys". The civil suit is regarding a Jordanian police officer who shot and killed an American military contractor. Other than this lawsuit, almost nothing is linking the officer to ISIS. If you read the lawsuit, they really have nothing linking this officer to ISIS either, other than a vague statement from a supposedly official ISIS source. So the link to this military contractor's death to ISIS is very tenuous. This has to be established first, and there is almost nothing to establish it on - he was a Jordanian police officer, not an ISIS militant. Then you have to say Twitter is engaged in running afoul of material support of terrorism laws. These laws generally would mean something along the lines of that in some back office of Twitter, Jack Dorsey was storing up Kalashnikov rifles which he was going to ship to the Taliban in order to assault American bases there. In 1929, the Republican (!) Secretary of State rolled up all the old World War I spying operations saying "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail". How far the US has fallen in freedom from the day Stimson uttered those words a century ago. |

He also turned it all back on, to 11, as the secretary of war, once stuff heated up in Europe.
