First, the comic in question:
http://xkcd.com/380/
By the esteemed Randall Munroe.
Basically, the untruth is simple. Munroe's comic indicates that a basilisk's eyes have the ability to kill through computer screens. However, as we learned in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a basilisk's stare cannot, repeat--cannot, kill through some other medium, such as a ghost or a camera. What does this mean?
It means that, even with the basilisk emoticon, it would be conveyed through the computer screen and CANNOT KILL SOMEBODY. It can only petrify.
Thank you.

ah but to some people, the internet is a direct link- so he could be referring to the fact that many believe the internet is so direct and gives such close contact between people that even a basilisk can kill someone with it
