There is now a new dimension to modern terrorism: Social media. And these positive ideas can be quickly and effectively disseminated through, you guessed it, social media. Terrorist organisations are now increasingly relying on the internet, and especially on online social media platforms to plan, facilitate, recruit, propagate, and legitimise their operations. Consequently, and quite understandably, governments all over the world have become highly suspicious of social media. As banning social media cannot be an indefinite strategy, it is imperative that the government give due attention to planning a long-term strategy to fight, nay, prevent militancy.
