Tabloid hypocrasy and idiocy in full force today via The Sun. 10:14 - May 31 with 7033 viewsmonytowbray

Just over a couple of months or so ago the tabloids were screaming about how easy it is to access websites publishing content that helps potential extremists commit acts of terrorism.

Today in The Sun; a handy infographic detailing all the items you need to build a device just like the one the Manchester bomber used last week for just over £66.



Please tell me the world is purposely being a parody right now and isn't serious.

This morning Radio5 Live interviewed a lady who was at the Manchester Arena when the bomb went off, and she was extremely upset about this. It is, as you say, appallingly crass of The Sun, but what is new about that.

I haven't read the article, but my instinct is that there are one or two missing ingredients from the shopping list!?!

...If not I am going to feel very nervous walking into my shed next time I need a lightbulb.

The main missing ingredient is a misguided loser who thinks he'll destroy Western civilisation by murdering a a few adolescents out enjoying themselves.

The Sun here isn't quite as bad as ABC news in the US.

Watch video 1:06-1:10
http://abcnews.go.com/International/uk-police-arrest-connection-manchester-arena

The irony here is that if I linked the video directly to the ISIS youtube account I'd be guilty of aiding terrorism, but linking the same content from a proper news agency (who themselves took the video from a terrorist propaganda source) is actually okay.

Isis have their own YouTube account?

Am guessing it will be based in the middle east rather than in the US/UK.

But the ease with which ISIS recruit / radicalise online does seem to be a largely undressed problem (from my ignorant position)

They also have twitter accounts.

They sent these messages 4 hours before the Ariana Grande concert:





I imagine only Youtube, Facebook and Twitter know which countries these accounts are registered in.

That's not actually true.

I was following twitter at the time of the attack with others on TWTD providing links.

There was a discussion on twitter about it at the time.

Anyway, it should be very easy to check the twitter feed from that night.

EDIT:

UPDATE - all those tweets have now been purged from the #manchesterarena tweet history. I don't know when they were purged, but they were still there on Wednesday morning last week.

Isn't it!

I've just found on google images old tweets by "normal" twitter users drawing attention to these ISIS tweets at the time of the attack. However, when you look on their own twitter feeds, all tweets from that time have also been purged.

That's the great thing about history stored digitally. Those who want to purge it can, so it never happened.
