Cameron Accuses Internet Companies Of Giving Terrorists Safe Haven

Posted by timothy on Tuesday November 25, 2014 @03:25AM from the not-quite-on-the-money dept.

An anonymous reader writes with this snippet from The Guardian: "Internet companies are allowing their networks to be used to plot "murder and mayhem", David Cameron has said in response to the official inquiry into the intelligence agencies' actions ahead of the killing of Lee Rigby. He demanded that internet companies live up to their social responsibilities to report potential terror threats and said there was no reason for such firms to be willing to cooperate with state agencies over child abuse but not over combatting terrorism. His comments to the House of Commons came after the parliamentary intelligence and security committee concluded that the brutal murder of Rigby could have been prevented if an internet company had passed on an online exchange in which one of the killers expressed "in the most graphic terms" his intention to carry out an Islamist jihadi attack.

  learn how to argue valid points
  Given that Cameron is arguing that we should take another step down the slope, your claim that their claim of a slippery slope is invalid is invalid.

Instead they figure the surveillance state is necessary to protect us from the bad guys.
Us?
To these people, "us" are not on the same category as "them".
If burning a hundred citizens per day on an altar assured Cameron unlimited power, the killings would start tomorrow in the early morning.
