| Description | The digital media technologies have changed the media structure and turned old communication models upside down. Many of the changes carry high expectations, not least from a democratic perspective, and are often predicated on a belief that the new systems favour two-way symmetric communication. This chapter examines how digital media changes the premises and circumstances for terrorists as well as governments. It challenges the normative idea that the digital media and its utilisation by digital naturals leads to a new brave world. The chapter shows how terrorists use social media to meet their aims, and provides examples collected from earlier research, military reports and news media to focus on a terrorism movement that is currently receiving a lot of attention for its digital and social media strategies. The attitudes of digital naturals are relevant to counterterrorism. The Islamic State follows no regulations and seems to have no limitations, while democratic states cannot or should not use disinformation and deception.
