Just another way to get the whole world watching... and following. Really sad and disappointing to take something so useful and use it for tragic theatrics.

I don't even know how to feel about this. Wow. It's kind of a joke, that should be taken seriously.
Yeah, where does this come down in terms of an ethics question? Twitter is not a journalism platform per se, though the act of journalism does get committed on Twitter. I'm thinking there's no effective way to cull terrorist gait-prop from the great mass of material. Maybe we go back to Haley's point. What useful thing cannot be abused? In a tangential way, it makes me think about the Unabomber who demanded his ramblings be published and which publication resulted - I recollect - in his brother recognizing his style/ideas and fingering him. I think that's how it happened. Much discussion of the MSM publishing per the bomber's demands.
