Social Media Should Not Silence Jihad

Intelligence agencies are now asking that social media providers (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) do more to filter out objectionable materials like sites used by ISIS to recruit terrorists, hate sites and the like. It is a big mistake. Once we start filtering the internet it is only a matter of time until it is censored and then the question becomes who decides. The solution to this dilemma is for intelligence agencies to do their job. The FBI, CIA, State Department and the branches of military intelligence have hundreds of thousands, if not millions of personnel who could be assigned to combing the web for Jihad recruitment sites and use current technology to shut them down or make them unworkable. Listening to these agency heads whine is sickening and listening to them ask Facebook to do their job is insufferable. The job is difficult, but far from impossible.
