Hillary Clinton Urges Silicon Valley to ‘Disrupt’ ISIS


“You are going to hear all the familiar complaints: ‘freedom of speech,’ ” Mrs. Clinton said in an hourlong speech and question-and-answer session at the Saban Forum, an annual gathering at the Brookings Institution that focuses mostly on Israel’s security issues.

In a reference to Silicon Valley’s reverence for disruptive technologies, Mrs. Clinton said, “We need to put the great disrupters at work at disrupting ISIS,” an acronym used for the militant group.

It was the second time in two weeks that Mrs. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, had thrown herself into the brewing battle between Silicon Valley and the government over what steps should be taken to block the use of Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and a range of encrypted apps that are adopted by terrorist groups.

Mrs. Clinton’s comments echo recent White House calls for what would amount to a cease-fire with technology firms after the revelations by Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, that the government had gotten inside the firm’s communications technology.

But Mrs. Clinton is also risking putting herself at odds with technology executives and entrepreneurs crucial to her campaign’s fund-raising. And in Iowa and New Hampshire, states important early in the campaign, there is still considerable suspicion of the government and its demands for greater access to daily electronic communications.

You consistently complain that any govt action, particularly actions geared towards protecting the public like meta data etc, are gross violations of privacy and/or against un-Constitutional.

Now you complain because the same programs didn't stop San Bernadino?

Anonymous's Cyber War with ISIS Could Compromise Terrorism Intelligence

This wasn't the only article on why it could compromise what our country is doing.

"Feel good" decisions get you elected but are not always helpful in real life so you are putting counter-intelligence (pun intended) into office.
