SNIPPET: "In July, the British government warned that Al Qaeda’s exploitation of social networking websites is on the rise."
SNIPPET: "The massive and multifarious network of websites and social media has presented a challenge to authorities in trying to combat it. Additionally, civil liberty concerns have conflicted with government efforts to spy on communications.
Reducing terrorist activity on social media sites has been particularly difficult because users have adopted new forms of communication to conform with the new formats. Many Arabic speakers on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other sites use Arabizi, a form of colloquial Arabic written in the Latin alphabet and numbers. This allows the use of a standard English-language keyboard for typing messages. There exists, however, no standard version of Arabizi. It varies from country to country, even among groups within countries and is affected by differences in dialect."

SNIPPET: “Note: PWP stands for PassWord-Protected, meaning that a login is required to view - let alone participate in - discussions. Since some in the audience don’t understand the significance of this, allow me to spell it out: if only members can read the forum, then anyone observed reading the forum is a member. They have zero deniability (they couldn’t have accidentally “wandered into” the site), and they had to make the effort to join (an expression of intent).
While the goal here is to present a range of sites, the fact is that the jihadis themselves have largely coalesced at Shmukh and Ansar Arabic.”

Top Ten Jihadi Forums, as of 14 February, 2011

“TOP TEN JIHADI FORUMS, AS OF 14 FEBRUARY, 2011”
SNIPPET: “Assembled with the help of my dear brothers in Fateh al-Islam (and their minders in the Syrian intelligence service). The [PWP] notation indicates the site is password protected. There’s nothing worse than the mournful wailing of analysts, graduate students, and reporters who find themselves locked out of their favorite forum. Join early, join often, save important discussions as you find them, try not to say anything too embarrassing, and if you’re a civilian, make some effort to let your friendly neighborhood secret police know that you’re a good guy, not a bad guy, so they don’t have to waste time and money investigating you. Forums are not just websites, they are battlefields, and spectators are not particularly welcome by any of the combatants.”

SNIPPET: “A: Access to explosives.
The good news is that explosives can be hard to come by, but that doesn’t keep the brothers from dreaming of the day when they can lay hands on some.”

“DHS to set up policies for monitoring Twitter, Facebook
Homeland Security is working on guidelines to protect U.S. citizens’ rights while it looks at social media sites”
By Sharon Gaudin
November 1, 2011 04:54 PM ET
SNIPPET: “The DHS, whose mission is to protect the country from terrorist attacks, isn’t actively monitoring Facebook or Twitter. However, when the agency receives a tip about a potential threat, agents will scour public sites for information.”
SNIPPET: “Kerravala noted that it’s a good reminder for everyday social network users to be aware that what they post is often available for the public to see.
“You know that a lot of this information is being seen, maybe watched and maybe even archived,” he added. “Information doesn’t go away once it’s posted.””
“Beyond the hype regarding terrorist use of the Internet”
SNIPPET: “In short: terrorist use of the Internet is a counterterrorism opportunity.
Happy hunting.”

“Deleting Online Jihad on Twitter: The Case of British Jihadi Anjem Choudary – Tweeting for the Caliphate and the Conquest of the White House”
By: Steven Stalinsky*
SNIPPET: “As part of their online media strategy, jihadi groups have in recent years begun using Western websites and technologies – uploading videos to YouTube[1] and to the Internet Archive,[2] creating official Facebook pages,[3] and tweeting news flashes from the jihadi fronts. Jihadis have come to depend on free web hosting, where content can be uploaded anonymously, reliably, and at no cost.[4]
Headquartered in San Francisco, California and with servers in San Antonio, Texas, Boston, Massachusetts, and New York, Twitter – the online social networking and microblogging service – is increasingly being used by terrorist organizations and their media outlets, and their online followers are growing in number. Twitter’s Terms of Service include some “restrictions on content” but do not mention terrorist groups.[5]
One of the many jihadi groups now utilizing Twitter is Al-Qaeda and its followers.”
