Sony Responds to Claim That Terrorists Use PS4 for Communication

Belgium's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Security and Home Affairs, Jan Jambon, made the statement that terrorists use Sony's PlayStation 4 for communication and that the console is hard to keep track of.

"The thing that keeps me awake at night is the guy behind his computer, looking for messages from IS and other hate preachers," said Jambon during a debate organised by Politico and reported on by The Bulletin. "PlayStation 4 is even more difficult to keep track of than WhatsApp."

"The most difficult communication between these terrorists is via PlayStation 4," he added. "It's very, very difficult for our services - not only Belgian services but international services - to decrypt the communication that is done via PlayStation 4."



Sony has since responded to these claims in a statement released to Eurogamer.

"PlayStation 4 allows for communication amongst friends and fellow gamers and, in common with all modern connected devices, this has the potential to be abused," said a Sony spokesperson.

"However, we take our responsibilities to protect our users extremely seriously and we urge our users and partners to report activities that may be offensive, suspicious or illegal. When we identify or are notified of such conduct, we are committed to taking appropriate actions in conjunction with the appropriate authorities and will continue to do so."
