    Social media technology impacts terrorism

    Why is it an issue? Cause and Effect?


    Social media is a modern life that provides an essay access to information and
    how the speed aspect of a person’s life. These same helpful access to information
    is available to terrorist and their organization. Social media is one of the biggest
    tools for terrorists because this helps them by sharing information,
    communicating attacks, and spreading propaganda.
    • “This notion has thought-provoking implications due to the fact that this
    interdependence affords terrorist organizations opportunities to perpetrate attacks.
    It is inevitable that an increased risk of terrorism, especially on the forefront of
    mega sporting events, is on the rise due to the global publicity such attacks
    receive.”( Galily, Yarchi, Tamir, & Samuel-Azran, 2016)

    How does it impact those individuals (people, animals, environment, organizations,


    etc.)?
    This issue impacts a lot of people because when 9/11 happen and everyone saw
    the news coverage and social media spreading about the attack. It affected
    everyone in the U.S and the environment. It made everyone terrified of terrorist
    planning on the next attacks and how it will happen.

    What is the background or history of this topic?


    “Since 9/11 much has been said about the role of technologies like the Internet and
    global communication networks in sustaining transnational terrorism, the spread of its
    ideology, and its recruiting activities.” (Cristina, 2015, pg 49)
    What are the pros or cons of an issue?

    The pros and cons all depend on which side you are on, but the pros are letting us know
    about the attack and how it gives us information about the attack. The cons are spreading
    fears, communications through social media, and opportunities for terrorist.
    What are the opportunities?
    “this description of cyber-terrorism is quite useful while examining the role of social
    media and the internet in terrorism organization operation. In addition to the broad summary of
    targets that may be vulnerable to cyber-terrorism (Heickero, 2014), it can be inferred that social
    media may also provide a platform for cyber-terrorism attacks that is open to terrorist
    organizations. The prominent benefit of operations that targeted at cyberentities, may simply be
    the availability of the target (Heickero, 2014). Due to the prevalence of social media in every
    aspect of daily life, digitally vulnerable targets have been created and presented to terrorist
    organizations that possess digital operation capability to an extent that these vulnerabilities can
    be exploited.”( Bertram, 2016, pg 240)
