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

[Easy 10]

simple really its two less for them to use...........................I would have thought someone as clever as you would have thought of that

Are you serious ? That argument really is complete nonsense.

That's like trying to solve alcoholism by banning Fosters and Baileys.

 

[glasfryn]

But it would make zero difference, as they would just use alternative means, as they would have done to organise the 11/09/01 and 7/7/05 attacks.

It seems that the reason you don't see the problem of banning something that millions of normal law-abiding people enjoy using is because you don't use it yourself. A very selfish and solipsistic viewpoint.

Do you genuinely believe that there is a finite supply of websites in the world? What exactly do you think is going to stop people from starting a NEW one exactly? If you're going to post such half-baked drivel at least flesh it out a bit so it vagely resembles a plan, not just the mad ramblings of a senile old man.

it might just inconvenience them a little, I find both of you extremely rude and rather agressive there is really no need to be either

whatever

Make stupid suggestion, get stupid answers.

Says a lot that you think that maybe inconveniencing some terrorists a little is worth the major inconvenience this would cause to the tens of millions who use these websites up and down the country daily.

Christ are you still going on? I'll humour you...

Does that look familiar, it's what you posted to Glasfryn at 14.50!
Yet strangely I see you still banging on over five hours later, are you the Worlds leading hypocrite?

 

[Hampster Gull]

as terrorists use both to undermine British security
discuss nicely please

No.

Apart from the fact that it wouldn't save a single life.

It can never be possible to stop terrorism and banning such media would just move the mediums elsewhere...........Who know they could even move to NSC.

Then we could all play spot the Terrorist or spot the FBI Agent on here

It murder was done by Professor Plum in the Conservatory with the Candlestick

 

[Machiavelli]

I haven't looked through this thread so I'm sure this has been done before but, in answer to the thread's question, no.

 

[Cian]

I do understand that.
it was my suggestion they shut it down, and I realise that by shutting them down they will move to other methods, but why make it easy for them to use whats there, the people that run these media should take some of the responsibility,it is it seems down to manhours again

Anything which makes it easy to congregate makes it even easier to be found by law enforcement. Close public systems they're thick enough to use and they end up using more obscure, encrypted systems. You end up with the polar opposite of the intent.

Stupid idea, not thought through.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

I haven't read the thread but just from reading the title I'll put in my 50p worth. Marcus Garvey organised 6 million people without Facebook and Twitter.

Happy Hunger Games, and may the odds ever be in your favor!

 

[pastafarian]

if you closed down twitter and facebook people like nibble would be devoid of news stories
Not fair on him really to close them down

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I don't believe it. Cats are not terrorists.

Wanna bet?

[Nitram]

Nice to see we have moved on from the idea of banning Blackberrys. Has the OP thought about having a column in the Daily Mail?

 

[CheeseRolls]

Difficult to respond in a civil way.
The answer is of course no.
For the Op this is like concluding that terrorists often use silver or white cars, therefore should we ban them. If that sounds like preposterous nonsense, it is of course, because that is exactly what it is.

You were thinking of me at 6:29 on a Saturday morning. Whole new level of sad. Very well done.
