In 2011-2014 era, IS*S was huge on Twitter. Not many people seem to remember this happened. They were posting propaganda videos and actively recruiting people on the public timeline. Jack was letting that go on for years. A lot of the terror attacks in that era were tied back to people getting recruited online.
Now it's basically dead. Was it the deplatforming? Did the world just move on? Nobody knows.
ISIS had clear ideological roots in the region, recruitment of socially disgraced military leaders, and a complete power vacuum to fill as they ravished a vulnerable, impoverish and diffuse population. What an absurd, ahistorical example.
Yes, it’s absurd to argue that kicking some people
off a social media website is equivalent to: an existing domestic terror group that has committed organized violence at home and abroad (Al Qaida) is going to produce an even more radical offshoot organization (ISIS) after the government is destroyed by a foreign adversary (USA) leaving an entire geographic region without any projection of force (the Levant).
Many of those “domestic terrorists” have fought against “foreign” terrorists for the government of the United States, having as leaders of their chain of command people who now vilify them (both Bush Jr and Obama). This is Rambo I all over again, only that it doesn’t take place out somewhere in the obscure woods but in the open political field.
Now it's basically dead. Was it the deplatforming? Did the world just move on? Nobody knows.
