No doubt extremism has come about because of silicon valley, not the failure of government policy over many years, and the alienation of people in the middle east. It&#x27;s not the result of twenty years of war against people who have no power to strike back except with terror tactics.<p>Clearly terrorism is the fault of those secure instant messaging apps that have led to the end of peaceful society. I think I saw a terrorist in a newspaper photo using snapchat.<p>Oh and computer games too.<p>Time to get my witch hunting pop-gun and dig up McCarthy.<p>The good news is that with encryption banned, there will be absolutely no way for terrorists to communicate in secrecy, and all communications will be intercepted and terrorism will end.  Can&#x27;t come soon enough.<p>Our governments have really, really tried to stop terrorism - I promise - it&#x27;s just that really with encryption, it&#x27;s kind of impossible so you can&#x27;t blame them.<p>Thus we see the terrorists have succeeded in turning our most powerful institutions against each other.  Tech versus government.  The government have become the agents of the terrorists without even knowing it.
