Not Just Hashtag Diplomacy: Twitter Solves Terrorism Problem!

Are these scalp-breathing, smelt-chomping terrorists too extreme for Twitter?

Twitter said it has suspended more than half a million accounts as the company steps up efforts to tackle “extremism” on its microblogging platform.

Terrorists, obviously, will be hardest hit – especially Extreme ISIS, Extreme Al Qaeda, and other organizations dumb enough to put the word “Extreme” in their names – but rounding out the top ten will be innocent bystanders like:

* Washed-up 80’s glam-rock bands, (and nostalgic 40-somethings tweeting about their prom themes).

* Icelandic tourism

* Liquid-cooled gaming motherboards

* hair strengthening products

* Railroad Grade pizza

* Alternative explanations of back-relaxation in ionic polymer metal composites

* Recreational heavy construction equipment operation

* High-performance, all-terrain, water-resistant, portable, solid-state hard drives

and, of course, any organization dedicated to making it easier for normal people to be able to kill the terrorists that Twitter censorship somehow, incomprehensibly, doesn’t manage to stop.

    * Meteorologists (extreme weather caused by global worming)

    * Bad opera

    * Cross-multiplying. Twitter will no longer allow the product of the means to equal the product of anything else.

    * Fingers and toes. Wait, that’s extremities. Eh, close enough. Ban ’em.
