RIGA, Latvia — The EU on Thursday called for more help from Internet companies to fight online terrorist propaganda in the face of the terror attacks in France.
Home Affairs Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos told reporters in Riga that the EU needs to deepen cooperation with the Internet industry "and to strengthen the commitment of social media platforms in order to reduce illegal content online."
Already before this month's shooting massacres carried out by Islamic extremists in Paris, EU officials had been reaching out to Google, Facebook, Microsoft and other companies to discuss ways of removing jihadist propaganda from the Internet.
Too much paranoia and conspiracy theories lead to psychotic break.

I haven`t seen any proof it not being the case, so it`s always a possibility, it`s just keeping an open mind.
There is no proof that you are not a Mossad agent neither.
Post responsibly people.

Charlie hebdo attacks have the signature of being one all over it, it`s the actions which are taken because of it which give enough clues.

More details about the guy; he is a 19 year old chemistry student at the universities of Leiden and Delft. Friends describe him as a normal guy and didn't expect this from him. Lately his grades dropped and he withdrew. He is not particularly religious. He does something with computers in his spare time, but friends doubt he was part of a hacker group of any importance. Police is still interrogating and are also busy with a wider investigation which includes a house search.
A phrase coined by comedian George Carlin to describe euphemistic expressions that "conceal reality" and "take the life out of life."

The fake gun shows that he did not go there to harm.
He needed to find a way to get to the broadcast room and broadcast his message. The fake gun was used just so that he could force his way into the room.
I don't know why people automatically assume that he is sick in the head or that people are sick in the head when they do something that involves danger. This guy seemed very desperate and honest about things.
