Facebook, the popular social networking site, has shut down a recruiting page for the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, The Washington Post reported.
This week, the Los Angeles Times had reported that the TTP page was recruiting contributors for a new quarterly magazine called Ahyah-e-Khilafat, or Sign of the Caliphate.
According to the Post, the page had 281 “likes” as of Friday evening and included posts in English, PG-rated job postings for positions like video editor, translator and writer of “jihadi current affairs” and Islamic movements.
In fact, the most intriguing part of the now-defunct page may be the people who “liked” it, noted the Post story.
“Regardless of your motive, identifying yourself as the “friend” of a known terrorist organization takes guts — or fervor, or social media ignorance, or some combination of the three,” the Post commented.
While there’s been no suggestion that the government tracked this specific page, the FBI has in the past monitored the social network as a part of certain terrorist investigations, in some cases even using it as evidence, noted the Post story.
