Twitter hasn't figured out censor bot?

Bloomberg: Twitter Inc. said it suspended more than 125,000 accounts since the middle of last year for promoting or threatening terrorism, marking its progress after several meetings with high-level government officials about the spread of influence from the Islamic State.
The company said Friday in a blog post that it also has increased the size of its teams that review reports of terrorist activity on the social-media website and has cooperated with law enforcement when it suspects from tweets that users are involved in terrorist activities.
Software geeks cannot figure how to do this with a bot?   The bot is no smarter than a dumb google search.  Have the bot scan the tweets before they go in to the tweetbase. I mean, think folks; heck, short these bimbos.

But, why not take a bunch of Islamic Nutball tweets, and condense them into a probabilistic grammar, a semantic network with pricing at the nodes.  Then you have a simple graph convolution problem, as if you took two javascript programs and executed the left from the right.  How do we price the transitions?  Good question!!
