Abstract:
The use of social media, particularly by terrorist organizations, has become one of the world's top concerns. Terrorists and terrorist organizations use social media and other online platforms to conduct operational communication, acquire intelligence, share technical information, recruit, and train new members.
ISIS is one of many terrorist organizations that have exploited social media to their advantage. Utilized a variety of social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Viber. As a result, ISIS benefited greatly from using social media because it is a less expensive, more straightforward, quicker, and more effective means of communication. Additionally, via social media platforms, members of terrorist organizations are promoting their ideologies, propaganda, and activities throughout the world. The study's finding is that Islamic State would not have been able to grow so swiftly or assemble such a sizable force without its control over the internet.
This study aims to identify the threat of cyberterrorism in the twenty-first Century and investigate how social media may be contributing to the rise in terrorist attacks around the world, particularly among ISIS adherents.
