Tech firms not doing enough to fight terrorism, says Met police chief

Cressida Dick calls for more action to stop online radicalisation and questions push towards end-to-end encryption

The UK most senior police officer has accused technology firms of failing to identify, monitor and report the activity of terrorists, in a plea for improved access to social media platforms.

Dame Cressida Dick, the Metropolitan police commissioner, also questioned the push to expand end-to-end encryption in a speech to law enforcement officials on Monday.
