6:36 pm
down. but they are asserting there is this sacred rite of social media that we have a right of speech and we have to have that debate - - debate with terrorism. in those to finally acknowledge the tremendous platform but they should not be appropriated to do their bidding whether recruited or fund-raising you ask if they have been successful then it you would see them reach end and the reason in as deal is
