The Department of Justice is concentrating on “far-right” groups in a new study of social media usage aimed at combating violent extremism.budgeting $585,719 study to combat violent extremism.

Well, I wouldn't consider Free Republic a target of the Justice Department described as concentrating on far right groups in a new study of social media usage art combating violent extremism. But that's just me. Thee government has a totally different agenda and interpretation.It won't shut me up but others have already expressed their reticence to speak their mind. It's up to you to think for yourself.Good luck. God Bless America.

Why not study ISIS’ use of Social media
... instead of weaponizing, protecting, and helping
the Islamic terrorists?

“...in the dissemination of messages that promote extremist agendas and radicalize individuals to violence,”

You mean like the main stream media?

They must not be terribly serious about it. That’s not much money and MSU is downright Amish compared to UofM.

Laughable political terrorism by the #2 Leftist Terrorist in the United States....Eric “The Radical” Holder, immigrant alien from Barbados.

We all know who Leftist Terrorist #1 is.

Because this administration and it’s radical ideologues don’t see ISIS as a major enemy, or a threat.

WE, on the other hand, they see as enemies.

Not opposition, but ENEMIES.

Thanks. I’ve heard of Tor years ago. Its available as an add-on for Firefox or free. It’s supposed to be very effective but the drawback is that it slows down your browsing considerably.

They are studying islamist terrorist organizations...

I’m just wondering if ISIL is one of them....

After all we were told ISIL isn’t Islamic....

Of course, there will be NO investigation of left-wing extremist groups and THEIR social media use.

And remember, this administration considers “right-wing extremists” to be vets, Christians, supporters of the second amendment and those who oppose abortion and gay marriage.

If this is true then they are trying to contradict the al Qaeda doc recovered in Afghanistan which clearly shows it’s the left wing media orchestrating news stories as preparations for the terrorist attacks.

They are trying to put the blame on the right wing media as orchestrating news for the attacks but the right wing media almost didn’t exist in 1991 when preparations for the 1st WTC bombing were being made.

CTC at West Point’s Harmony Database doc# AFGP-2002-600321 is the doc they are trying to contradict.

This is an example of why the patriot act should be killed.

If you think that’s bad wait till Operation Net Neutrality kicks in, in two weeks. I think some online surveillance protocols have been set in place the last few year leading to the takeover of the Internet that will make the Echelon programs look like kindergarten level spy programs. I also think he had his friendly NSA (or some secret new covert agency) setting things in motion / place quite awhile back because he knew he would get no opposition. And if you think ONN will ensure that your Internet speed gets faster. Wrong. Only for the gibsmedats.

Four “Far-Right” social forums and three Islamic-extremist. Why no “Far-Left”?

Do they honestly think no such thing exists and is no danger?

Political oppression. Unconstitutional. Stereotyping and profiling.

Someone needs to “study” the (un)Justice Department.
