The first great social war

Obama administration plans shake-up in propaganda war against ISIS - The Washington Post

"Friday’s high-level conference with senior executives of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Apple is the administration’s most ambitious attempt to persuade those companies to collaborate in the ­counter-militant campaign."

Or, well, maybe not. Seems like Twitter erupts in acrimony over just about everything, and I imagine those other services are much the same. But how it got to be that the big tech companies are the villains in this whole terrorism story, I don’t know. I suspect it’s just a matter of being handy.
