Key Research Questions

To begin with, we will be looking at what social media platforms are available to IS, why they use these different platforms and how they manage to use these new technologies undetected. Secondly, this paper will aim to answer the question as to if the use of social media by IS has led to an increase in the number of recruits they aim to target. Thirdly, the paper will discuss how social media portrays IS in the eyes of the general public. Furthermore an in depth analysis into IS propaganda messages, videos and threats delivered via social media will be critically examined and conclusions would be reached as to what impact this has on both IS and the world at large.
