NEW DELHI, 30 October 2022, (TON): India on Saturday cautioned the world about the possible implications of misuse of new technologies such as encrypted messaging and crypto-currency by "non-state actors" in absence of adequate regulatory mechanisms, with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar seeking united global efforts to deal with the challenge.
In an address at a special meeting of the UN Security Council's Counter-Terrorism Committee, Mr Jaishankar said the social media platforms have turned into potent instruments in the toolkit of terror networks and that the terror groups, their ideological fellow-travellers and lone wolf attackers have significantly enhanced capabilities by gaining access to new technologies.
Reaffirming India's commitment to combat terrorism, he also announced that New Delhi would make a voluntary contribution of half a million dollars in the UN Trust Fund for Counter-Terrorism this year.
