Yasmin Green, head of R&D at Jigsaw (formerly Google Ideas): If you want to dissuade someone from joining a group like ISIS, you have to reach them at just the right moment: before they've committed to its cause. I've spent the past year talking to people who did join the group, and many of them started out with questions about the so-called Islamic State--about the effectiveness of its government or the legitimacy of its religious claims. ISIS hopes to intercept those questions and provide its own answers to them via recruitment videos in Arabic, English, French, Russian, Chinese, Hebrew, and even sign language. It's very inviting. When you talk to people who have joined ISIS, they say that this is how they got involved. It started on the open web. - - - Also: "A Proposal for Dealing with Terrorist Videos on the Internet" - https://lauren.vortex.com/2016/06/12/a-proposal-for-dealing-with-terrorist-videos-on-the-internet --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
