African youth league league to shut down twitter

[Trillian]

This is honestly the most hilarious thing I've ever heard.

The leader of the ANC Youth League in South Africa (the same moron who claimed that there is no such thing as an hermaphrodite) is now threatening to shut down Twitter!

As anyone who knows social media will tell you, all he's done is poke the bear. Twitter users and the 'hackers' are all naturally terrified . . . . if terrified meant laughing hysterically.

I know a more reliable way is to ban the technology unless the company allows the government to decrypt and spy on all the messages.

Sounds like someone needs a sense of humor.

So, it's finally happened. Twits vs. Twitter.

He heard a tweet and responded with a squawk.

Haha, dude got trolled on the internet and then threw a temper tantrum. The only thing this is going to do is spawn about a zillion more clones on twitter. Also, I love this quote: "In fact ANCYL statement called for ’closer of Twitter’ following ’cretation’ of fake accounts. Was that so we’d know it was the real Malema?"
