The Prime Minister said introducing new rules for cyberspace would “deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online” and that technology firms were not currently doing enough. ...

I remember reading of a private suggestion by someone in (US?) foreign affairs that this broad wave of terrorism is "birds come home to roost".
