Fordham Law School’s Center on National Security was mentioned in an article published in the Washington Times. The article discussed social media’s role in the fight against terrorism. For instance, social media companies such as Facebook and Twitter are riddled with extremist content from terror groups like the Islamic State, which use these platforms for recruitment purposes.
A report published last month by Fordham Law School’s Center on National Security said around 9-in-10 of the 101 terrorism cases opened by U.S. prosecutors between March 2014 and June 2016 involved suspects who used social media.
