GCHQ: Silicon Valley is Terrorist “Command and Control” Network

The new head of GCHQ [Britain’s NSA], Robert Hannigan, has spoken out strongly against American Internet companies. The BBC reports: “His concerns appear to be twofold. Firstly the fact that militant organisations such as Islamic State (IS) are using Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp to promote themselves and the increasing sophistication that extremists are showing in their use of such platforms. And secondly he is not happy about pledges from Microsoft, Google, Apple and Yahoo to make encryption a default option to protect users from government snooping.”
