Germany nixes web monitoring workshop for Egypt, fearing abuse
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGerman police have canceled a workshop designed to help Egyptian security officials monitor extremist websites for fear they may use the skills against other groups.
Germany has provided significant material and technical assistance to Egypt in recent years to help combat extremist groups and people smugglers, despite concerns about the Egyptian government’s human rights record.
The measures were meant to include training for Egyptian Interior Ministry officials in Cairo on Internet crimes, including monitoring websites that could be misused by terrorists to spread extremist ideas and prepare terror attacks.
