The Concerns
![Page 15: Social Media and Human Rights](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052505/554eff0cb4c90577698b4d74/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Some issues
• "The Internet's unprecedented global reach and scope combined with the difficulty in monitoring and tracing communications make it the prime tool for extremists and terrorists.” - The Simon Wiesenthal Center
![Page 16: Social Media and Human Rights](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052505/554eff0cb4c90577698b4d74/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Some issues
• Every aspect of the Internet is being used by extremists of every ilk to repackage old hatred, demean the 'Enemy', to raise funds and since 9/11, recruit and train Jihadist terrorists.
• User-generated material increases the viral spread of extremism online and aids in increasing the social acceptability of hate in mainstream discourse.
