Social Media and Terrorism
Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are online spaces where people share information and connect. Sometimes, terrorists use these platforms to recruit members, spread propaganda, plan attacks, or instill fear. While social media can help promote positive messages, it also becomes a tool for extremist groups to reach wide audiences quickly and secretly. Governments and tech companies work to monitor and limit such harmful activities, but challenges remain in balancing free expression with security. Ultimately, social media's vast reach makes it a powerful tool that can both unite communities and, unfortunately, support malicious agendas.
