Abstract

Research has shown that social media platforms on the internet such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Reddit, blogging platforms have become a breeding ground for terrorist organisations to spread their beliefs and agenda, and recruit members by reaching audiences far beyond the country borders. Concerns regarding possible abuse are raised by the fact that some platforms are being utilized to organize and disseminate information related to civil disturbance occurrences. Social media platforms make it easier to communicate facilitating the propagation of hateful content. Social media’s anonymity and worldwide reach enable extremist organisations to elude conventional surveillance, making it challenging for law enforcement to monitor their operations. The risk of internet radicalisation is increased by algorithm-driven content recommendations, which further magnify radical viewpoints. This study examines the body of research on how social media contributes to terrorist attacks and civil unrest, examining its effects, ways of exploitation, and potential defenses against these dangers.
