Abstract
The previous chapter largely addressed the issue of cyber-crime and the dark web. At the end of this chapter it began to address the even more serious issue of cyber warfare and the need to find ways to combat techno-terrorism without violating citizens’ rights to privacy. This is a thorny issue where some compromise on both sides might ultimately be needed.
