Foreign Affairs: Governments face difficulties to contain Daesh on the social networking site

 Translation: Ahmed Al-Zubaidi

From Twitter to Allgram site Sympathizers continues with Daesh establish their camps on the means of social communication platforms all over the world.
While some ports are open and famous, the others are isolated and protected. The wide range of platforms, and the large size of the supporters Daesh, and the magnitude of the contents of the sites makes it difficult for governments and private companies to contain the threat of Daesh online.
To start doing this, it is necessary to understand the external factors that have formed a strategic communications Daesh. , At the strategic level, the organization gain Daesh war in social media use effective branding, information dissemination, and the development of the timing of its operations. For example, in the wake of violent attacks, it has become common for counter - terrorism analysts search for press releases that claim to be issued by news agency depths. After analyzing a number of Daesh publications, the researcher in the field of terrorism Charlie Winter argues that the marketing approach allows the organization to Daesh "forcibly injected himself into the global collective consciousness." But the group is mainly dependent on the pads can not be controlled, making them vulnerable to change regulations and security measures.
For example, in August 2015, the US authorities arrested the couple Jilin Yong and Mohammed Dashala, after revealing their plans to travel to the territory controlled by the organization Daesh to undercover agents are located in many social networking platforms, including Twitter. In Syria, it was reported that the air strike that killed Junaid Hussein has left after the British recruiter Internet cafe in the tenderness, the capital of the actual Daesh.
And control regulations based on the content of the site to suspend accounts, the efforts are well studied Twitter to dismantle the presence Daesh its positions have yielded mixed results.
Since mid-2015, the Twitter account closed 360 000 for violating the company 's policies relating to the promotion of terrorism, but sympathizers d lived continue to create new accounts every day. By the same token, each of Facebook and Google, with varying degrees of success, encouraging anti - terrorism campaigns. The US government project, known as the Madison Vaod project had called for technology and entertainment companies to help in the fight against terrorism, in particular through the strict implementation of the terms of their service.
Apparently, the feeling of weak measures and social media companies and changing their systems, encouraged supporters to launch a Daesh to March 2015, a site called succession Bock, who claimed that he offers alternative sites banned in the traditional platforms. But this amateur site, which claimed that it relied on a domain purchased from a Western company, fell shortly after its launch. And more continue to be made across different parts of the Internet connection accuracy efforts; The sites password - protected and tools such as Tor, an anonymous browser, significant resources to the elements Daesh experienced remain in the field of technology.
Supporters of Daesh also simply addressed the issue of suspending the account by moving between platforms. To avoid security risks detection and mitigation, many sympathetic moves with Daesh general broad - based platforms, such as Twitter or Facebook, to e - mail services and messaging applications that provide encryption technology, including Brocunmaal and Sorespot and Tealegram. Because of the ambiguity of these techniques, it is difficult to measure the number of sympathizers on each platform. Despite this, a report released in 2016 entitled Daesh Technology has cited, written by researchers Laith al- Khoury and Alex Kasearer that site Talegram now seems is the best choice among the elements Daesh official and terrorist groups. "
There is another strategy for the organization Daesh is to create multiple accounts insurance against closures . for example, the net Yassin, from Missouri residents, set up multiple accounts on Twitter to convey the message Daesh about jihad, including threats of injury federal government employees.
at the time of her arrest in January 2016, and although the suspension of multiple accounts It is a violation of the terms of service tweets , Has identified the FBI 97 account "likely" be connected Besavah Yassin.
The spread of widespread Daesh in the digital domain a major obstacle to those who seek to defeat the organization and therefore, it is time to re - conceived strategy anti Daesh in positions of propaganda in the means of communication social.
the focus of existing initiatives, although they are well - meaning, and making a lot of effort on a few large - scale platforms, while others choose to silence violent speeches, others seek to amplify differences.
