Topic: EU has cunning plan to fight interweb terrorism

[Amker]

THE EU HAS ISSUED A CALL to implement what it called "measures to combat the terrorist use of the Internet."
Internet use, it reckons, "plays a significant role for terrorist organizations. Terrorists use the Internet to radicalize, recruit and train potential terrorists and to transfer information," our barely-elected European overlords claim.

They reckon the Web is stuffed full of manuals that "provide instructions on how to produce weapons, how to carry out attacks, how to take hostages and how to build bombs, among other things."

"In the face of the global availability of the Internet, this is especially worrying," it said, in an obviously very well thought-out statement.

The €urocrats in their wisdom feel that Europeans should act together to monitor, in particular, Islamist terrorist websites. "It is hardly possible for one individual member state to cover all suspicious terrorism related activities on the Internet," it noted.

"Monitoring and evaluating the Internet should therefore be intensified by sharing this task on a voluntary basis among the Member States, taking advantage of the special language and professional competence of the relevant authorities of the individual Member States."
