Contents Man's terrorist is another man's facebook friend -- Terrorism's love affair with social media -- Freedom of the newsfeed -- The spy who liked my tweet : counter-intelligence and the terrorists' reaction to Snowden -- Let's start a war -- National security and the fourth estate in a brave new social media world Summary "Terrorism. Why does this word grab our attention so? Propaganda machines have adopted modern technology as a means to always have their content available. Regardless of the hour or time zone, information is being shared by somebody, somewhere. Social media is a game changer influencing the way in which terror groups are changing their tactics and also how their acts of terror are perceived by the members of the public they intend to influence. This book explores how social media adoption by terrorists interacts with privacy law, freedom of expression, data protection and surveillance legislation through an exploration of the fascinating primary resources themselves, covering everything from the Snowden Leaks, the rise of ISIS to Charlie Hebdo. The book also covers lesser worn paths such as the travel guide that proudly boasts that you can get Bounty and Twix bars mid-conflict, and the best local hair salons for jihadi brides. These vignettes, amongst the many others explored in this volume bring to life the legal, policy and ethical debates considered in this volume, representing an important part in the development of understanding terrorist narratives on social media, by framing the legislative debate. This book represents an invaluable guide for lawyers, government bodies, the defence services, academics, students and businesses." --publisher's description Analysis Communications Act 2003 Crime and Disorder Act 1998 human rights law ISIS information society service legal and regulatory frameworks Malicious Communications Act 1988 Public Order Act 1986 Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 Right to Freedom of Expression regulation of online content Serious Crime Act 2007 social media Terrorism Act 2000 terrorism traditional media United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed January 11, 2017) Subject Snowden, Edward J., 1983- SUBJECT Snowden, Edward J., 1983- fast (OCoLC)fst01916996 Subject Cyberterrorism -- Law and legislation.
