Is the removal of information from the terrorist websites an efficient step in combating terrorism?
In my view, banning of terrorists' websites might be quite futile attempts to restrict terrorists' exposure since terrorists could just register another domain name and re-appear in the virtual world only seconds afterthey are removed. Seems they are even more difficult to track and tackle than virus!
Many governments have sought ways to limit or minimize terrorists' influence. These have inspired fears among civil libertarian activists.
On the digital war front, the first victim maybe our civil liberties.
Some argue we must surrender some freedoms in order to enjoy the ones we cherish most, others emphasize the price in freedom we pay for this war. Many in the Western World and especially in the United States worry about the abuse of civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. What do you think?
