US admits - there is no way to monitor online encrypted messages of ISIS

The multiplying effect of the online propaganda blitz of ISIS has put the US on the back foot and they have been forced to admit that there is no way to monitor the online encrypted communications of the terrorists.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 3 June 2015.

The ISIS was distributing its propaganda and recruiting messages to as many as 200,000 people on social media worldwide, and, with 200-plus social media companies, the problem aggravates.
Michael Steinbach, head of the FBI's counterterrorism division, has revealed that some of these companies build their business model around end-to-end encryption which adds to the problem. While the number of ISIS propagandists were a few thousand, technology was complicating efforts to monitor them.
In his opinion, evolving technologies were outpacing laws that allow law enforcement to intercept communications by suspects. It is a sensitive issue and has go be approached cautiously because with the advanced communication systems available, secrets can no longer be kept secrets for a longtime.
