A White House terrorism strategy released today says Facebook, Twitter, and other social networks aid in ?advancing violent extremist narratives? and should be monitored by the government.

The 12-page strategy (PDF), which outlines ways to respond to violent extremism, promises that: ?We will continue to closely monitor the important role the Internet and social-networking sites play in advancing violent extremist narratives.?

President Obama said in a statement accompanying the report that the federal government will start ?helping communities to better understand and protect themselves against violent extremist propaganda, especially online.?


You would all be screaming if this was Bush. Is it ok if it's Obama? Remember that every expansion of the activities of the government stay in place no matter what party takes office. Look at wiretapping, gwantanimo, etc
