European
Union Justice and Security Commissioner
Franco
Frattini has called for ISPs to censor internet searches in an effort to
stop terrorists gathering information.
Frattini said in a telephone interview with
Reuters
that freedom of information should take second place to denying terrorists
access to bomb making instructions or other information that could be useful.
"I intend to carry out a clear exploring exercise with the private sector on
how it is possible to use technology to prevent people from using or searching
dangerous words like 'bomb', 'kill', 'genocide' or 'terrorism'," he said.
"Instructing people how to make a bomb has nothing to do with freedom of
expression, or the freedom of informing people. The right balance is to give
priority to the protection of absolute rights and, first of all, the right to
life."
Frattini confirmed that this will be one of the strategies to counter
terrorism that he will present to EU member states in November.
While academic information or historical information would be allowed, actual
instructions would not, Frattini explained.
The Commissioner gave no information as to how this would be achieved.
