Updated: Is the U.S. government finally ready to confront cyberjihadism?
See this entry on My Pet Jawa, a prominent antijihadist blog.
It has certainly taken awhile for the U.S. government to start paying attention to cyberjihadism.
1389 wants to know:
When will they begin to look at the relentless pro-jihadist intimidation and censorship at social news and Web 2.0 sites, such as Digg?
When will they recognize that the site's owners and staff are responsible for allowing this activity to run rampant?
When will they start looking at the backgrounds and connections of these staffers, including contractors?
Allowing our self-proclaimed enemies to take control of, and to censor, our social news sites is giving them waaaaay too much power, and it has to stop!
Update (6/16/07):
- From Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) comes more evidence that this threat is significant: Global Islamic Media Front Instructs Islamists to Infiltrate Popular Non-Islamic Forums to Spread Pro-Islamic State Propaganda. We can only guess how many sites have been infiltrated thus far. (Stein hoist to littlegreenfootballs for this information.)
Update (7/5/07):
- Counterterrorist website littlegreenfootballs warns of a new software package for cyberjihadists: Get Ready for the Next Wave of E-Jihad. No skill or experience required!
Update (7/10/07):
- Doctorbulldog assesses our current predicament: Cyberterrorism, by whatever name: It's on the increase!
- My Flanders Fields shows how the leftist/jihadist alliance has extended into the battlefield of cyberspace: Marx Kisses Mohammed on the Internet. This amounts to a high-tech Hitler-Stalin pact, and it's time for the rest of us to figure out how to combat it effectively.
