They definitely use phones too, so does that mean the Patriot Act is justified, and governments should tap into everyone's personal life? These are extremists, so they shouldn't be given a platform to communicate, and to achieve that, it has to be a solution that encompasses all users. This not only leads to false negatives, but abuse of power. At best this is lazy governing, solving a problem with a lot of collateral damage, at worse this is done purposefully to control the citizenry.
