WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that the Islamic State had become “the most effective recruiter in the world†and that the only solution was to engage American technology companies in blocking or taking down militant websites, videos and encrypted communications.
“You are going to hear all the familiar complaints: ‘freedom of speech,’ †Mrs. Clinton said in an hourlong speech and question-and-answer session at the Saban Forum, an annual gathering at the Brookings Institution that focuses mostly on Israel’s security issues.
In a reference to Silicon Valley’s reverence for disruptive technologies, Mrs. Clinton said, “We need to put the great disrupters at work at disrupting ISIS,†an acronym used for the militant group.
It was the second time in two weeks that Mrs. Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, had thrown herself into the brewing battle between Silicon Valley and the government over what steps should be taken to block the use of Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat and a range of encrypted apps that are adopted by terrorist groups.
Mrs. Clinton’s comments echo recent White House calls for what would amount to a cease-fire with technology firms after the revelations by Edward J. Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor, that the government had gotten inside the firm’s communications technology.
But Mrs. Clinton is also risking putting herself at odds with technology executives and entrepreneurs crucial to her campaign’s fund-raising. And in Iowa and New Hampshire, states important early in the campaign, there is still considerable suspicion of the government and its demands for greater access to daily electronic communications.

Clinton’s advice is pathetic and misguided. You don’t issue a statement like that with the hope that some “rogue” programmer will hack into an ISIS site—there are government agencies like the NSA and Department of Defense—agencies that are actually charged with doing those things.
So...she wants to “disrupt” one of the ways we can know what they are up to?
Aren’t we supposed to fight terrorists with hashtag placards?
#GoAwayISIS
#HillarySaysStop
#PleaseWeDontHateYou
There, that should do it.
Hillarity: The INTERrupting Cow.
Meshes nicely with her past comments about how "We're going to have to take things away from you for the common good" crapola...
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
This froma woman who thinks you wipe a server with a dishcloth.
Stuck on stupid.
Businesses design and sell products. DHS and others use them for this task.
If this induhvidual wants industry to do the work she can try contracting it. H1b need not apply.
Yes, they really want to cripple the encryption standards because the NSA can’t easily crack them anymore. They’re trying to sell in the name of “fighting terrorism”, but everyone would become insecure.

Check this out - ISIS training manual for Muslims in the West.
It is okay to steal from non-Muslims because it is okay to kill them.
Worldwide conspiracy that must be destroyed. They are reaching and creating Manchurian Candidates throughout America.
Unreal.
She’s saying this because she sure doesn’t want to do it herself. And it makes Silicon Valley handy as a scapegoat when her ISIS “strategy” fails.
Dear Lord these people are ignorant
“Let’s prevent them from emailing- that’ll stop them cold In their tracks”
Silicon Valley is the biggest importer of Muslims in the country.
Pakistani, Iranians...
Notice how all of these calls to disrupt them never include their bases of operation.
No mention of the mosques at all.
Is there?
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Disguised? No, it's a blatantly obvious attempt to broaden Big Brother's reach.
A "start" on diverting attention from the government's incompetence onto a scapegoat, maybe. Not a start toward accomplishing anything useful.

Thought comes to mind that she’s on life support in some hidden location and that a robotic double appears in public... with buggy software.
