Foreign Terrorist Organizations’ Official Media Arms and Violent Extremist Web Forums

Each of the foreign terrorist organizations (FTOs) referenced in this graphic use social media to disseminate official messaging, recruit potential members, and convince potential supporters to mobilize to violence. Due to the dynamic social media environment—including the termination of user accounts by social media sites for violations of terms of service—it is sometimes difficult to pinpoint the current account names used by these groups and their supporters, so this graphic does not include this information.
