What is a "Honeypot"? And Why Not to Fall for Them! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 8159584 United States 10/08/2013 09:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A "honeypot" is a trap. Quoting: goodmockingbird A "honeypot" is a sort of media enticement that is intended to incite susceptible individuals to incriminate themselves. We saw a great example with the Nairobi Mall Massacre twitter feed that was so full of lurid tweets about jihadi activities. Susceptible, outcast loner sorts could get caught up in the fever pitch to be part of something dramatic and exciting, to join a movement, and they could post things like "Yes, I will join you Brothers, and I will slay the infidels." Presto! Aspiring Jihadi gets to meet new friends, and gets invited into meetings, gets to meet somebody's uncle fresh back from the 'training camp'. He would be schooled on how to assemble dangerous, uh, things... and even get a free ride to the place to, uh, make the thing do something destructive. *'Hey, this thing's not working' * Handcuffs Right now here on GLP we are seeing a whole lot of foreign (and domestic) anonymous coward threads that are worded in such a way as to lure upset readers into incriminating themselves by posting intentions of violence. "When are you Americans going to do something..." is a typical sort of thread title. DON'T FALL for IT!!! The site owner and the moderators here have ZERO tolerance for posts either inciting others to violence, or threatening violence. Plus YOU as the reader do not want the potential headaches that could come your way if you were foolish enough to fall into such a trap. As you can see from the example about "When are you going to do something...", the threads titles and opening posts do not technically threaten violence. They lead and encourage you to post threats of violence. Practice discernment, and do not hesitate to hit the 'report abusive post button'. By doing so, you're not censoring or banning anyone. You're just asking the mods to take a look at something. |

I whole heartedly agree, violence is left for when you have run out of other option. And we still have many even if they can be obscure at times. |

User ID: 21040700 United States 10/08/2013 09:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | just a short read... and its all true [link to theanarchistlibrary.org] how nonviolence protects the state. "Put quite plainly, nonviolence ensures a state monopoly on violence. States — the centralized bureaucracies that protect capitalism; preserve a white supremacist, patriarchal order; and implement imperialist expansion — survive by assuming the role of the sole legitimate purveyor of violent force within their territory. Any struggle against oppression necessitates a conflict with the state. Pacifists do the state’s work by pacifying the opposition in advance.[88] States, for their part, discourage militancy within the opposition, and encourage passivity. " |

"Doing something" does not always imply violent action. A lot of people are simply saying that Americans should get off the couch and turn the TV off. Get involved. . |

You're just asking the mods to take a look at something. Could have come from the keyboard of Janet Napolitano herself. If I read it right it says 'people we should do nothing and report those that think we should'. I suppose you subscribe to the 'founding fathers were terrorists' POV and the first ammendment is only for those who agree with me. You say 'Practice discernment, and do not hesitate to hit the 'report abusive post button'. By doing so, you're not censoring or banning anyone. You're just asking the mods to take a look at something.' What is difference between this and 'if you see your neighbour with a gun call the police as you're not censoring anyone you're just asking the authorities to take a look at something.' You mention domestic threats, I wonder what constitues a domestic threat for you. Is it truckers threaten to block DC and arrest congressmen? is it people threatneing to bring hoardes of supporters to protect veterans from arrest? Is it unarmed single mothers who drive into barriers or is it just homegrown jihadists? I take it you also think that after curtailing the first amendment you would also want the second edited and the right to bear arms removed as 'bearing arms' would obviously make you a domestic threat. A "honeypot" is a trap. It isn't just media enticement that is intended to incite susceptible individuals to incriminate themselves. It is also a trap set to detect, deflect, or in some manner counteract attempts at what administrators deem unfavourable use in a system. |

The illuminati have always taken control of the sheeple by creating domestic violence and internal civil wars, while they watch the destruction from on high. The tragedies of the French and Russian revolutions are a prime example of this tactic---- the end game of which is a one world totalitarian government disguised as socialism. Millions always die in these civil wars, while the illuminati laugh their way to the bank and greater power! DON'T FALL FOR THEIR BAIT. |

(OP) User ID: 47887917 United States 10/08/2013 10:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You say 'Practice discernment, and do not hesitate to hit the 'report abusive post button'.

What is difference between this and 'if you see your neighbour with a gun call the police as you're not censoring anyone you're just asking the authorities to take a look at something.' Quoting: Breadalban 48058944 GLP is a private business. The business owner has both rights and responsibilities. Most of us here want GLP to stay open for business. Any business owner has the responsibility to oversee that his business is not used to propagate criminal activities. By giving a heads up that there are some anonymous posters here who try to lure readers into endangering both themselves and GLP as a business, we self-regulate. Keeping GLP open for business is one goal. Keeping GLPers out of a world of hurt is another goal. As to your second assertion, about seeing a neighbor with a gun: Honey, I am a native Oklahoman. We're kind of used to seeing neighbors with guns. It's a good thing. But if some neighbor was out in his front yard waving a gun while yelling about killing a public official with it, absolutely I would call the police in a heartbeat. But I reassert: Reporting a post here on GLP is not even in the same realm as calling the police. It's not banning or censoring anyone. It is calling attention to something for the mods to look it over, and for them to make an informed decision about whether it is the kind of behaviour they want going on in this business establishment called GLP.

Allow me to speak in a parable: There was once a man who searched and searched for buried treasure. He had a map that marked the spot where the treasure was buried. He finally gave up, after a long time of searching, although if someone had magic 'critical thinking glasses' on, they would have seen that everytime he started to look for the treasure, an X would appear directly underneath him, wherever he went. Are you standing/sitting/reading the X right now? |
