Rise and Fall of ISIS
Allowed for people to disrupt time and space. Terrorist organizations and showcased the narratives. Forms of social media used as a tool to create a narrative--telegram, Tumblr, Facebook, propaganda, etc to try and recruit people. Recruited people, funds, and try to spread their information. They wanted to share their story through social media. I put 2020 as the year because there are still tactics out there through social media to try and recruit people. -
