Justice Minister Andrea Orlando had stated that the chat feature of PS4 could easily be used in order to allow terrorists to plot future attacks, which will obviously result in terrible results. In order to counter this, the Minister has said that a total of €150 million, or £106 million is going to be invested in order to reform information and security services within the year. Mr. Orlando describes the information as follows: One of the reasons why PS4’s chat feature is going to be monitored is because since it exists on just Sony’s servers, monitoring communication is even more difficult as compared to WhatsApp. In order to stay ahead of the terrorists’ plans, Italian security authorities are going to be on high alert and will be deployed in a large amount ahead of the beginning of the Vatican’s ‘Jubilee Year’, which is going to take place on December 8. For those of you who do not know this, an estimated 25 million Catholic pilgrims travel to Rome in the hope of being forgiven for their sins. Sony has not yet commented if they are actually helping the authorities tap into the PS4 chat feature in order to stay ahead, but it looks like we will learn something in the following week soon enough.
