随着社交媒体在过去几年中越来越受欢迎，恐怖主义团体纷纷涌向流行的网站，传播他们的信息并招募新成员。由于恐怖主义团体在这些社交网络中建立了存在，他们并不依赖直接联系来影响同情他们的个人。相反，他们利用“朋友的朋友”关系，现有成员或同情者在潜在新兵与恐怖分子领导人或有影响力者之间架起差距。随着反西方宣传在这些社交网络中的传播，本土恐怖分子和独狼式恐怖分子受到鼓舞，犯下了恐怖主义行为。社交媒体中的这些恐怖分子社交网络可以被发现和映射，从而提供了应用社交网络分析算法的机会。利用这些算法，可以沿着在同情者和影响者之间弥合差距的个人来识别主要的影响者。
With the increasing popularity of social media over the last few years, terrorist groups have flocked to the popular web sites to spread their message and recruit new members. As terrorist groups establish a presence in these social networks, they do not rely on direct connections to influence sympathetic individuals. Instead, they leverage “friend of a friend” relationships where existing members or sympathizers bridge the gap between potential recruits and terrorist leadership or influencers. As anti-Western propaganda flows through these social networks, homegrown terrorists and lone wolf terrorists have been inspired to commit acts of terrorism. These terrorist social networks in social media can be uncovered and mapped, providing an opportunity to apply social network analysis algorithms. Leveraging these algorithms, the main influencers can be identified along with the individuals bridging the gap between the sympathizers and influencers.
