Daniel0 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Isn't it sort of stupid planning fights in a public forum (unless it's a martial arts/boxing competition or whatever) or just generally planning illegal things publicly? Not like I expect people who plan such things to be very smart anyway.

Not like I expect people who plan such things to be very smart anyway. Exactly! Those uneducated thugs will perhaps realise sooner rather than later that it's perhaps a very bad idea to tweet your opponent / intentions. But hey, this is how nature weans out the idiots from the smart ones... through modern day technology Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/183460-to-those-who-think-twitter-is-useless/#findComment-968399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
premiso Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Maybe they will use their own gangster encryption method that requires a secure hashed key so the cops cannot find the location.... Now note an example encrypted string in gangster terminology is "met at teh prk ner 4ty forth and wash" and a "hashed" key is a pipe that just got smoked.

.josh Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Technology is getting too cheap. QFT. Should remain expensive so the rich can use it as a tool to control the poor. Cuz you don't see rich people committing crimes.

Andy-H Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Investigators are monitoring the traffic in hopes of sweeping up gangbangers before the bloodshed - and searching Twitter after attacks for clues. PMSL, you gotta love the police's (well, reporters') misunderstanding of "street" terminology.
