In 2009, the FBI indicted Abousamra for conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists; providing and attempting to provide material support to terrorists; conspiracy to kill in a foreign country; conspiracy; and false statements," according to the FBI. There have already been reports of Somali's from Minnesota who have been radicalized. Now, we learn that this guy is promulgating ISIS's message on Facebook, Twiter, etc. I have a few solutions: Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, etc. should censor material posted by fanatics. The beheading videos, the recruitment campaigns and the like, for two reasons: (1) it is more unethical for Western companies to allow their technology to be used as platforms for invoking outrage and recruitment than it is to censor the content and (2) in failing to censor this, Western social media is complicit in ISIS's recruitment. I also think that to the extent that western social media companies can assist in locating radicals, they should, as well. |
