"Technology is just a tool. It should be expected that those engaged in the insurgent side of asymmetric warfare would be heavily reliant on existing and widely deployed communications tools.

It worth reflecting in these circumstances that, more oppressive regulatory regimes will not prevent the use of our technological tools against us, that the long term solutions to problems like this will not involve more regulation or the use of force of arms but rather the construction of political and economic frameworks that include a voice for those who are presently marginalized and therefore seek to make their point via violence and destruction."
