Social media companies have ‘ethical duty’ to shop terrorists, says MI5 chief as he demands more powers to snoop Facebook and WhatsApp messages

 

 

 

 

MI5's director general has said social media companies have an 'ethical duty' to expose and report terrorists to the security services as he backed the Government's proposed Snoopers' Charter.

 

In the first ever interview by a serving MI5 chief Andrew Parker backed new Government legislation which would allow security services to monitor online communications by would-be terrorists. 

 

There have been a number of high profile instances of terrorists using sites like Facebook and Twitter and encrypted messaging app Whatsapp to radicalise, recruit and plot their terror attacks.
