is it time to close down twitter and facebook to protect our national security

[Frutos]

What a ridiculous suggestion.

how would I communicate with my children?

The OP has brought this idea up before, several times in other threads. It always gets the same universal response. Why they have felt the need to start a thread I don't know. They know the answer as it's given everytime they mention it.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

as terrorists use both to undermine British security
discuss nicely please

No, we just need a few Jack Bauers.

write a letter

 

[Stumpy Tim]

maybe for a short while
phone messages can been intercepted, but it is difficult to cover all of twitter and facebook (this just said by the head of MI5)
6 MAJOR TERRORIST PLOTS FOILED JUST LAST YEAR.

and I seem to remember the Croydon riots being run from twitter and face book

No, they were run on BlackBerry Messenger - encrypted messaging. Encryption is the real challenge to the security services, not Facebook

write a letter

surely that's what terrorists would do as well, meaning letters would have to be banned also.

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

Nope. Maybe you should close down one of them crappy ones like Google + ...

 

[Mackenzie]

I'd say use them to our advantage. If terrorists are using these means of communication they are leaving a traceable electronic trail for MI6. If we can cause 'Jamie' a shitstorm, just think what the Boffs on their super computers in Cheltenham can do!

you are joking I hope, it would take months to set something up using the post, that is of coarse if the letters ever arrived

I also suspect terrorists talk to each other. Probably should ban that too, at least for a while to be on the safe side.

Nope.

As serious as post #1

 

[SweatyMexican]

Doing that would mean the terrorists have won.

Change the password on the WiFi.

Where's the Thumbs Down option when you need it eh?

This is why the elderly shouldn't be allowed to vote or drive.

older and maybe a little wiser than you sir

 

[Albumen]

Maybe.

 

[Frutos]

The former perhaps, but certainly not the latter based on this thread and proposition.

Well act it then, you complete and utter fool. This is up there with BG's postings. Another prime example of someone who shouldn't be allowed out the house.
