Hillary Clinton wants to use the technological potential of Silicon Valley to combat radicalism of the Islamic State. The objective of the Democratic candidate for the US presidency is to destroy the power that ISIS managed on the Internet by disseminating texts, videos and images, writes the New York Times. For this, companies that are in that part of California, such as Google, Apple and Facebook, can help.
It tells the candidate that the Islamic State became “the most effective recruiter in the world” and the solution may be to use American technology companies to “block or eliminate” militant websites, videos and encrypted communications. Hillary Clinton points out that Facebook, YouTube, snapchat and other applications are used by terrorist groups to recruit.
The Democrat, who will run for the White House in 2016, spoke for an hour, in a session at the Saban Forum , an annual meeting organized by the Brookings Institution. “We must put the big disruptors (technological) working to break the ISIS” he said.
But the idea of Clinton may not be well received by all. There are those who accuse of not think about “freedom of expression”. And she herself may be putting yourself at risk, since has the financiers of the campaign several technology companies and several entrepreneurs linked to the area, tells the New York Times. And your comments are not going towards the interests of investors.
On the other hand, a source from Facebook soon pointed out that the company often clears “incendiary posts” and blocks accounts of people who think they are associated with Islamic state.
