    "content": "introduced in this Bill. This is because they have a multi-pronged approach and a multi- agency principle to it. I hope that in the principal Act, all these issues of awareness, information sharing and the new concepts around social media, the use of analytics and data to counter violent extremism and terrorism are also looked at in the primary Act. If it does not exist in the principal Act, then Sen. Waqo should consider looking at the new internet and data driven approaches as part of the prevention strategies. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I know that right now, people are on Google, Facebook and YouTube; and that they watch very closely for any content that may be from radical groups. However, as part of these amendments, we should also look at the ways in which information flows; be it on social media, the internet and the rest of things. This is because, right now, that could also be an area of concern since most kids and teenagers are very impressionable between ages 12 to 20 years. That is when they are trying to find themselves; they are grappling with a lot of things like identity issues, issues around finding your livelihood and trying to see whether you could amount to something or not. Therefore, if a radical group comes up with a solution to all the problems that are going around your head--- Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we need to catch these youth in good time at that impressionable age. Where do the 12 to 20 year olds go? They go on the internet and that is their primary communication tool. I am, therefore, hoping that the primary Act has provisions for these approaches; but if it does not, I request my sister, Sen. Waqo; to also look at ways in which prevention can also leverage on the new ways in which people communicate, including social and new media ."
