Members of the U.S. House of Representatives asking the FBI to prevent Hamas from using social networks like Twitter, claiming that it provides tools the enemy
U.S. against Hamas
American legislator seeks action against Hamas - Twitter. Number of U.S. congressmen have filed federal agents of the U.S. demand to prevent organizations defined as terrorist organizations connect American social networks. Letter was submitted in September this year, but now turned to media spotlight following the operation "Nube." Recall that during the operation, Hamas used social networks propaganda purposes, including a brawl with the IDF spokesman's account.
"Afford a foreign terrorist organization, such as Hamas, to act on Twitter is to give tools to the enemy," said to The Hill initiated the letter, Rep. Ted Poe. "You block their access to five them the ability to distribute freely the propaganda their own violent and recruit in a war against Israel. Foreign terrorist organizations and anti - Americans around the world do it every day. Feds and Twitter should understand as early as possible that their social networks are a tool for terrorists."
The FBI responded to The Hill, saying that members of the House of Representatives will answer directly, not through the media. Meanwhile, Twitter said repeatedly in recent years that their goal is to allow freedom of speech and expression to all who desire it, as long as it's not breaking the law messages. The company did not respond directly to questions about Hamas's Twitter account, or threatening messages disseminated about the IDF Spokesperson's Office through their Twitter account.
