FTA:
"Ben Wallace, the UK's security minister, described tech companies as "ruthless profiteers" who were doing too little to help the government combat terrorists who often take advantage of their platforms."
The most interesting thing are the lines ruthless profiteers and take advantage of their platforms. The British government subsidizes health care, public transit and municipal water. Also, they deliberately shape traffic to create hot spots of pedestrian concentration and increase tax revenue. Are they doing anything about terrorists using those platforms?
- Veen 9y ago> Are they doing anything about terrorists using those platforms? Yes, via several other publicly funded services: the police, the judiciary, and the prison service.
- jimmywanger 9y agoThose are rehabilitative services, and not preventive services. Huge qualitative difference.
