Terrifying image of cop being killed goes viral after Dallas attack | Fox News

So, at what point does 'sharing' such posts worldwide become supportive of acts of terrorism or an implied terroristic threat? I get that our 1st Amendment protects free speech, but not all speech is constitutionally protected. Should the Patriot Act be invoked to prosecute those who inflame and incite others to violence? Should the US government hunt down domestic propagandists the same way ISIS propagandists are targeted? Has global terrorism assimilated our domestic versions the way the Borg swallowed all civilizations in their path? When is censorship vital to national security? Your thoughts, RP?

REPORT: Another Instagram user that reposted the image of the police beheading used the hashtag “#blacklivesmatter this is war” in addition to #killpigs. “This is a great example of social media that goes viral very quickly. Once the information is posted to these platforms, anyone can randomly copy it and post it especially when the original was up for at least three days,” said the spokesperson for GIPEC.

Users add a hashtag to unite and promote their message to other people on that social media with the same hashtags. “The way social media works these days, people do not really ‘follow’ or ‘friend’ others, but instead read hashtags and look for further information on that hash tag,” Khan said. “Islamic State learned this social media trick early. The technique now appears to be used by people and groups promoting violence against police.”
