U.S. Army warns Twitter could be used by terrorists

A report from the U.S. Army’s Military Intelligence has determined that the micro blogging tool, Twitter could be used by terrorists. The report says that these terrorists could use Twitter to coordinate their movements, activities as well as their attacks.

The report goes even further by saying that anarchists, communist organizations and human rights groups are already using Twitter to communicate with each other.

A number of Twitter members are already posting twitters to support extremist ideologies and perspectives. This is supported by multiple pro- and anti-Hezbollah Tweets that have been found. This is something that has to be monitored very closely, which is something that the U.S. military intelligence is now doing.
