This is about targeting those who are becoming radicalised, not monitoring every single Muslim in Europe.
- gnaritas 11y agoYou don't need to target anyone, you don't need to monitor anyone. Terrorism is a fake problem, it kills barely anyone and is little more than statistical noise. There are so many bigger actual problems to solve and no one is proposing tossing liberty out the window to solve them. You are arguing from emotion, not reason; this is nothing more than a simple crime, let the police handle it and forget about it. You can't "fix" terrorism and it is naive to attempt to do so. Mass surveillance is in fact a worse crime than terrorism, maybe we should jail you and all those who support it as you are the far bigger threat to liberty. Terrorism poses no threat to liberty, people like you do. Your ideas if enacted are far more dangerous to a free society than all the terrorists of the last 20 years combined.
- oldmanjay 11y agois there some way you've imagined to pull that off without monitoring everybody? perhaps a survey where people can indicate how likely they are to follow radical Islam on a scale of 1-5.
- junto 11y agoNo, quite simply it's called intelligence gathering. Old fashioned hard work, informant networks and Intel analysis. Reliance on pure bulk surveillance is part of the problem. It's seen as a panacea but it just creates more noise.
