London's police chief today warns society against letting parts of the internet become a “dark and ungoverned” space populated by paedophiles, murderers and terrorists. In a call for action, Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe says encryption on computers and mobile phones is frustrating police investigations, meaning parts of the web are becoming “anarchic places”.
He was telling a New York law enforcement conference: “We can’t allow parts of the internet, or any communications platform, to become dark, ungoverned space where images of child abuse are exchanged, murders are planned and terrorist plots are progressed.
“In a democracy we cannot accept any space, virtual or not, to become anarchic where crime can be committed without fear. Yet this is in danger of happening.”
His comments come just days after GCHQ’s new head warned that US technology companies such as Twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp were becoming “the command and control networks of choice” for terrorists.

Here comes the new regulations and 1984 style monitoring units
Actually London is a haven for murderers, jihadis and paedophiles.
It just so happens that they have internet access there.
So is Washington D.C.
Here, we just call them politicians.
yep but to be fair its mostly Democrats.....
It’s happening right out in the open in the UK in Rotherham with the police and government’s semi-complicity. If it is sitting right in front of you and you do nothing, you can’t argue that you need to spy on every packet on the Internet.
To the title:
And whose fault is that?
Does your government allow prisoners access to the internet?
Does your government allow released sex offenders access to the internet?
Does your government allow Moslems access to the internet?

Then we should it down.
And highways are a haven for murderers, jihadis and paedophiles as well, so we should shut down highways too.
What the hell is a ‘’paedophile’’?
Bingo!
Sure it is...
Therefore, a "Democratic" police state big brother tyranny is necessary to insure that there is no power the State will not abuse and some pigs are more equal than others.
After all, Socialist government concentration camps are good for society while police transparency is not, and "crime" is what the cops say it is.
Too little, too late, Chief.
“What the hell is a ‘’paedophile’’?”
I’m not sure, but according to many British newspapers a lot of them are “Asian”.
The British follow the original Greek character in the word, which looks like an “a” and an “e” back to back. I will now step back and let the social commenters have their say as to why they did that.....
The British criminal justice system is a haven for murderers, jihadis and paedophiles.
They are just marching to the beat of Hollywood which feels that people are pirating long out of print works (as well as those within the studios leaking films before they go to the screen).
Even when national security forces have specific details about Islamic terrorists, they do not act. But Hollywood gives to the campaigns (and got bundled under the tasks of Homeland Security).
Just what I was thinking. Similar to Australia which is cutting off access to “porn” sites. Yes, the excuse is always a wholesome one, but the fact is this fellow doesn’t give a rats ass about security - he is a censor and doesn’t like the freedom of the net.
