Shut down ISIS on Internet

Thu., Dec. 24, 2015

Thank you Tom Morris for writing (Nov. 22) the great letter saying what I couldn’t say so well. If the goal of the U.S., and our allies is to defeat ISIS, how can it be alright for ISIS to be on the Internet recruiting more extremists from everywhere social media can reach?

I don’t understand how and why ISIS and al Qaida, and details for bomb-building should be allowed to be on the Internet. There should be some way to limit incendiary content.

Morris said that his mother predicted that the Internet would be the cause of many problems in our lives. I think she’s got that right.
