TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Terrorism in the website: society 4.0 and fundamentalism in scrutiny JO - International journal of cyber warfare and terrorism A1 - Korstanje, Maximiliano Emanuel SP - 1 EP - 14 VL - 10 IS - 1 N2 - Without any doubt, terrorism causes higher levels of anxiety and very well enhances our fears as never before. The post 9/11 context witnesses the multiplication of xenophobic expressions, such as Islamophobia or tourist-phobia, only to name a few. These expressions result from a culture of intolerance, which not only was enrooted in the ideological core of western capitalism but was accelerated just after 9/11. Some voices emphasize the needs of employing technology to make this world a safer place. This chapter goes in a contradictory direction. The authors focus on the ethical limitations of technologies when they are subordinated to the ideals of zero-risk society. Echoing Sunstein and Altheide, the authors hold the thesis that the precautionary principle has invariably created a paradoxical condition where "the invented fears" transformed in the basic grounds of a new stage of capitalism.
