LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) – Western governments have overstated the
role the Internet plays in the recruitment of militants, and measures
to block extremist material are “crude, expensive and
counterproductive”, a report said on Tuesday.
Any attempts to filter or restrict access to sites grooming potential suicide bombers would be impractical and ineffective, said the study by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation and Political Violence (ICSR) in London.
