Social Media and Terrorism

Social media is a huge platform used by terrorists to create terrorist groups and for surveillance. It is crazy to think about how many terrorists could actually be lurking on social media. It makes you think of you are one being observed. It is so easy for them to post explicit videos and pictures. I have unfortunately been exposed to this myself, having watched a beheading on Vine. The exposure of things like this to people is so easy to make happen because of how easy it is to use social media. The article I read gives great examples of terrorism on social media being put to use. It gives good insight to what and how terrorists use it. The article was useful because of my unfortunate experience witnessing what one of these groups has done. Social media and terrorism is something that is very important to be aware about because of how many people use it.

Article Draft
Participating in a cyberattack affects the terror threat perception, even if it isn't done with a violent approach.

The deaths involving the Islamic State and the online social networks Twitter, Google, and Facebook lead to legal action being taken against them, that ultimately resulted in them being sued.

People have much easier access to illegal involvement within the cyberspace by the ability to access a part of the internet known as the Dark Web.

Cyberterrorism is becoming more and more prominent on social media today.
