Robert Hannigan is the new head of UK intelligence agency GCHQ. Hannigan calls for tech giants to be more cooperative in sharing user data with security agencies. He points out that ISIS members hijacked popular hashtags to promote its cause and intimidate opponents. ISIS used Twitter to send 40,000 tweets a day when it advanced on Mosul without triggering any spam control methods from the network, Hannigan claims. He also claims ISIS videos of its armoury “have a conscious online gaming quality” Hannigan took the top job at GCHQ back at the end of October.”]
