You’re looking at it too narrowly.

Think of ISIS as a cult. Think of how many kids get enticed into cults as a result of exposure on social media. Not many, statistically, but enough. Way too many.

Cults are good at identifying targets and what motivates them, then hooking them in and refusing to let go. And once they think they’ve got you theyre relentless in pursuit.

30 years ago my sister, curious about a bunch of new age stuff, had a conversation with a “cute guy” who turned out to be a cultist Made the mistake of giving out her address and phone number. Being smart, she quickly figured out she was being played, learned what cults were all about and their tactics when they kept pestering her.

Finally they called and my Mom was at the phone and answered, told them she was dead. They stopped pestering. But a few years back my sister was identified by name in a picture in her local paper, and the calls and mailings started up again. I told her they certainly kept their old lists and thanks to the magic of the internet ran automated websearches to find “lost sheep”. One of which got a hit.

When phones get smarter than the people using them, Skynet has won.
