In an interview on a Canadian website the following is reported:
- his search for terrorists took him to, of all places, Yahoo!, the Internet company famous for its powerful search engine. He discovered a Yahoo! Group (essentially an online forum where people can discuss a certain topic) called Global Islamic Media (GIM), a group many now believe that acts as a "mouthpiece" for Al-Qaeda. Incensed, Reynalds started a crusade to have the group removed from the web.
- He didn't get a response at first, but a few weeks about the initial complaint, the site was taken down. But a few weeks later, it returned under a new name. Reynalds informed CNN about this and they did a story on Jeremy's war against online terror, but Yahoo! did not respond to CNN's calls.
- "Yahoo! seems like a law unto themselves," Reynalds says. "They didn't respond to CNN and they barely responded to me." Why would Yahoo!, he wonders, continue to allow the group to exist? "I am not into conspiracy theories," he continues, "but I find it very interesting that their CTO is an Iranian. What would be the reason for them wanting to keep their service base open to these radically Islamic Yahoo! Groups that aren't even making any money?"[1]
