A typical argument put by Google when confronted by music producers or artists (like Prince or Metallica) is that the number of youtube videos is too many to be taken down. But the problem is that search enables copyright infringement. Just make it tougher to search for copyrighted material available free than try to play whack a mole with the content one by one.

This can be easily prevented by following basic principles of web analytics-

1. identify the web searches which lead to copyright infringement ( for music or movies)
2. put a warning message that the search query leads to a copyrighted material which user does not have access
3. create a separate section for subscribers that allows users access to it  for money and share money with content creators (some streaming service)

even for my books (see https://www.google.com/search?q=free+download+r+for+business+analytics&oq=free+download+of+r+for+busine&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0.11735j0j7&sourceid=chrome )  where I had to struggle to get search results purged one by one for ” Free Download of R for Business Analytics).

rather than purge the actual content- why not purge the search query- that means a search query is clearly malicious

Apparently Google can take a stand against guns and Youtube can do it against Porn but they are not willing to do so for Music! You are welcome, Musicians!

1. Should I cooperate with  my company/the government for technology to help find terrorists, knowing that the same company/ government will sell this technology to some regimes /allies to help find political dissidents
2. Should I help with statistics to help more people click more ads and buy more products or should I help with statistics to help local government do more with less corruption
3. Should I help save the planet with donating time and ideas for climate change or should I help save my job with donating time and ideas for product changes
4. Should I donate my time and energy to create and train more data scientists or should I use the shortage of data scientists to get a better salary
5. Should I be hypocritical about open source when it suits my career so I can push my startup and its investors to a profitable exit to sell out to companies that are not open source
6. Should I use open source for free forever and give talks for free only when it helps boost up my career or my company’s products
7. Should I help create very profitable data science for helping kill more people with lesser bombs or should I help create less profitable data science for helping find water and resources for more people

Quite clearly ISIS has been able to communicate, coordinate bomb-making technology, recruitment of fresh recruits, motivate recruits, evangelize ideologies, reconnaissance of terror targets using the Internet.

This infrastructure on the dark net and on social media needs to be shut down in an open systematic and deliberate way to ensure governments and hacker activists do not end up fighting each other but their common enemy.

tools like LOIC  and other tools with sophisticated backends but easy to use front ends need to be upgraded for better civilian activism for crowd-sourced intelligence as well as protests against terrorism.

There is more to the Internet than making it a tool for terrorists. The fight against terrorism needs better digital hackers than one trying to make ads. Using statistics and web analytics with better interfaces for DDOS tools can only help with the deliberate crowd-sourced shut down of digital terror.
