{mosimage}Американската војска го третира Twitter, популарен друштвен сервис за микро-блогирање, како алатка со која ќе се координираат терористички напади и активности. Ова е разгледано со извештајот на 304-тиот Батаљон за воено разузнавање на американската армија.
Во извештајот има и неколку сценарија за терористички напади и координација преку Тwitter.
Scenario 1: Terrorist operative “A” uses Twitter with… a cell phone camera/video function to send back messages, and to receive messages, from the rest of his cell. Operative "A" also has Google Maps Twitter Mash Up of where he is under a code word for other members of his cell( if they need more in-depth directions) posted on the WWW that can be viewed from their mobilesOther members of his cell receive near real time updates (similar to the movement updates that were sent by activists at the RNC) on how, where, and the number of troops that are moving in order to conduct an ambush.

Scenario 2: Terrorist operative “A” has a mobile phone for Tweet messaging and for taking images. Operative “A” also has a separate mobile phone that is actually an explosive device and/or a suicide vest for remote detonation. Terrorist operative “B” has the detonator and a mobile to view “A’s” Tweets and images. This may allow ”B” to select the precise moment of remote detonation based on near real time movement and imagery that is being sent by “A.”
Scenario 3: Cyber Terrorist operative “A” finds U.S. [soldier] Smith’s Twitter account. Operative “A” joins Smith’s Tweets and begins to elicit information from Smith. This information is then used for… identity theft, hacking, and/or physical [attacks]. This scenario… has already been discussed for other social networking sites, such as My Space and/or Face Book.
