SITE’s inaugural Technology and Terrorism report is a must-read for those seeking to understand how groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda use the internet to recruit, finance, and incite violence.


The Technology and Terrorism report is a one-of-a-kind study, providing a fundamental guide for ICT companies and regulating agencies to help combat terrorism online.

The following spaces and platform-types are examined in detail:

  • Major and alternative social media platforms
  • Streaming, file-sharing, cloud, and pasting services
  • Encrypted and unencrypted messenger applications
