MI5 boss warns of technology terror risk
The serving boss of the UK's home security agency told the Today programme it was becoming more difficult to obtain online information.
He said internet companies had an "ethical responsibility" to alert agencies to potential threats.
But MI5 was not about "browsing the lives" of the public, he added.
Ministers are preparing legislation on the powers for carrying out electronic surveillance.
Mr Parker, in the first live interview by a serving MI5 boss, said what should be included in new legislation was a matter "for Parliament to decide".
