Hillary Clinton: 'end the nexus of terrorism and technology'
BY LARRY BANKS



At the 12th annual Saban Forum hosted by the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings Institution, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke about the need for Americas to defeat the likes of ISIS and talked about how tech companies can help in the effort:

In her speech, Clinton said:

…it’s the nexus of terrorism and technology. We have a lot of work to do to end it.

… technology is a disruptive force that leads to an exponential increase in activity. ISIS is an exponential force right now. That’s why it requires us to bring together governments and high-tech experts to figure out how we disrupt [terrorist organizations].

Resolve means depriving jihadists of virtual territory just as we work to deprive them of actual territory. They are using websites, social media, chatrooms and other platforms to celebrate beheadings, recruit future terrorists and call for attacks. We should work with host companies to shut them down.

But Clinton is pretty vague about what the tech giants can do to defeat terrorism. Previously she suggested that encryption should be weakened to allow the government access to private Internet communications.

I sincerely hope that this awful woman does not become president of the US. Trump would be bad enough, but not worse than this neo-con warmonger.

Technology can be spread to anyone (for whatever use), so can money.
Why not pay off Daesh and re-integrate them after having them disarmed?

They say a Jihadist fighter gets 500 EUR per month if he joins Daesh. This amount is not verified, but the fact refugees consider it proves what they are really after. Religion is there to make dying easier. Not much need to wait for 72 virgins in paradise if you can live in the present. Anyone sane would prefer money with peace and life to money with death and war.
