This editorial from the Sacramento Bee is spot on.

Theresa May doesn't understand Silicon Valley | The Sacramento Bee

This is like blaming lighter manufacturers for arson fires.

Wouldn't there be a better response to this if you posted in under politics and other controversies. Anyway, it is so easy to blame social media, which of course is part of the problem. But lets face it, the problem with what we are seeing all over the world goes much deeper. I have to admit I didn't read the entire article, it was too long. Thanks for posting it though.

I'm not going to read the article but I remember her saying this, there is some truth to it in my opinion. Social networks are the main way they communicate and recruit. I personally don't care if my messages are scanmed for terrorism plots. I do think these CEOs need to accept some moral responsibility for these kinds of attacks (not talking about criminal, just morally themselves), they often talk as if they are so righteous, but their creations have helped terroism a lot.
