• W2596356550 abstract "INTRODUCTIONThe Internet provides a relatively unregulated and unrestricted place where terrorists can craft and disseminate propaganda through seemingly limitless numbers of websites and social media platforms, tailoring their pitch so as to target thousands of potential new recruits to join their organization and further their cause. ISIS, in particular, produces the most technologically advanced propaganda yet. Through sophisticated digital means, they have promoted the idea that ISIS has successfully established a caliphate and recruited thousands of new members to join the terrorist organization. ISIS films, which range from minutes to hours long, use Hollywood-style production tricks and special effects to portray ISIS terrorists as heroes and depict fighting for ISIS as akin to playing in a real-life video game. These violent and gruesome depictions are sent out alongside pictures and posts describing romantic, exciting encounters and riches enjoyed by ISIS youth. ISIS propaganda combines the horrifying and tantalizing to deliberately target young adults through social media, portraying life in ISIS territory as glamorous and utopian, and its members as heroic and desirable. Such propaganda fails to disclose the harsh realities of life in ISIS or ISIS-perpetrated atrocities.Efforts to thwart this propaganda in its many forms thus far have been relatively unsuccessful. For instance, it has not been sufficient to suspend pro-ISIS social media accounts; new pro-ISIS accounts quickly spring up to replace them. Likewise, law enforcement efforts to stop potential ISIS recruits at airports can only do so much; they cannot successfully prevent every would-be recruit from traveling to join ISIS. Even the Material Support Statute has its drawbacks as a tool for countering ISIS propaganda. Prosecuting individuals for promoting and distributing ISIS propaganda under the Statute, for instance, may have the more harmful effect of chasing other terrorists to sites that are more difficult for law enforcement to monitor. Lack of available time and resources plays a role, too. Hence, Twitter might suspend the accounts of only those users who have the most outrageous or highest quantities of postings, leaving behind many dangerous but more scrupulous users. Furthermore, disseminating propaganda on the Internet would not necessarily satisfy the terms of the Material Support Statute, especially if the user cannot be shown to have coordinated with ISIS.This paper proposes a multi-faceted approach for combatting ISIS propaganda focusing primarily on counter-propaganda measures that expose the reality of living conditions in an ISIS society and poke holes in ISIS's false veil of legitimacy and power. Some such measures already have been taken. For instance, the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications-an initiative within the U.S. Department of State-along with a small number of individuals have tried to expose the truth behind ISIS and to ridicule the organization. However, these measures have not proven to be particularly effective. Such measures need to be plentiful enough to not get buried beneath pro-ISIS propaganda. Counter-propaganda should avoid appearing biased and utilize a credible communicator. It should target the powerful lures that attract teenagers to ISIS. Furthermore, while counter-propaganda measures should aim to flood social media, social media sites such as Twitter should use a more discerning approach, e.g., they should be selective about suspending accounts so as to avoid pushing pro-ISIS users onto encrypted communication platforms. Law enforcement officials should also be selective: they must use care when considering propaganda as a basis for prosecuting material support cases; otherwise, they could undermine the Government's legitimacy by prosecuting untenable cases. However, suspensions and prosecutions may be useful in at least temporarily preventing dangerous propaganda from reaching teenagers and thus should not be completely abandoned. …" @default.
