Jamie Bartlett, writing in the March 31, 2015 London’s The Telegraph, writes that Western intelligence services are having a much more difficult time tracking al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and other darker angles of our nature because these groups/individuals are taking advantage of what Edward Snowden told them. Alex Younger, Head of Britain’s MI6 [London’s Foreign Intelligence Directorate], said yesterday “Britain’s intelligence services are involved in a “technology arms race,” as they attempt to tackle threats posed by the “dark side of globalization,” facilitated by the Worldwide Web. And, that digital arms race got more sophisticated and complex, in the aftermath of the Snowden leaks, as al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and others have substantially increased their use of encryption on the digital highway. Rob Wainwright, the Head of Interpol, told London’s Radio 5, this past weekend, said sophisticated encryption software was “perhaps the biggest problem for the police and security service authorities in dealing with the treat of terrorism.”
