Can a APP help save innocent lives taken by ISIS? Mono's Ideas

in news •  8 years ago  (edited)


I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, since modern warfare cannot defeat ISIS are there any other ways to help protect our communities.

So here’s my 2 cents, what about an app that is linked to the authorities and can be used to report suspicious activities and behaviors. Since it’s linked by app it can also provide the police with locations and even a photo snapshot. With this we can join forces and create a community surveillance and tagging system to log any suspects and in the end hopefully saving the lives of innocent people.

Another idea is to create an snitch rewards system. Money always talks...maybe this method can be an incentive for current ISIS members to make some cash by giving authorities tips on future attacks.

Please share your thoughts...also give this article a vote to help spread the idea. You never know who might be reading this in the future.

I think our society is Orwellian enough. How about we stop it by not being terrified in the first place.

If you attack a country, expect its people to fight back.

Agree, as civilians we should also do our part to help keep our country safe.

The probability of being killed by terrorism is minuscule compared to other risks we face in our everyday lives, but terrorists are destroying our society by inflicting fear and provoking us to give up our freedoms and accept surveillance. Please, do not help them, do not succumb to the provocation, do not support global surveillance, do not give up your privacy and freedom.

Why? are you hiding something :) There's a big difference between global surveillance and this. It can help with so much more than just isis attacks. I will guarantee you that with this app more criminals will be brought to justice. Clearly nothing is working right now so it's worth a try.

What you are suggesting is really a form of surveillance and denunciation, and it will most certainly be abused.

Agree that there will be instances where the system is abused, as with most things in life. Maybe it should be more focused on being a criminal tipping system and not civilian surveillance. Anyway...thanks for the input :)
