Western nations are moving forward to establish online security perimeters with proposals to impede Web sites and to issue emails containing spyware that would keep an eye on jihadists, even though critics caution that such measures could give rise to censorship and privacy infringement, reports ASIS International.A series of anti-terrorism proposals will be unveiled by EU justice commissioner Franco Frattini in November, and included in the proposals will be a package for the development of technology to block Web sites that post bomb-making recipes and other terrorist how-tos, and for the criminalization of online terrorist enlistment. "The Internet, as we all know, is abused for terrorist propaganda and also for disseminating information on how to make bombs," notes Frattini spokesman Friso Roscam-Abbing. "What we want to achieve is to make that phenomenon punishable."
