    The kid didn’t say this publicly

    I’m not sure what this changes. Do actual terrorists make their plans public? IANAT, but I’m pretty sure they discuss and plan their actions privately most of the time.

    Besides, look at what he wrote:

    “On my way to blow up the plane (I’m a member of the Taliban).”

    If he somehow didn’t expect that line of text to get his Snapchat auto-watchlisted, then he’s even dumber than originally thought.

      Do actual terrorists go around saying “lol I’m a terrorist”? Maybe a little business card with some finely embossed “Taliban Suicide Bomber” printed under their name to hand out to everyone.

        That’s really not far off from actual Taliban recruitment and propaganda tactics these days. They have a public Twitter account, if anybody’s forgotten.

      I mean yeah most people kinda assume that their private conversations are private, hopefully this will help more people aware that corporations and governments are spying on us all
