I Believe Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Why are many people so quick to blame the internet and social media for the corruption of youth and the unlawful promotion of terrorist organisations? I have used the internet for years and not once have I ever seen anything like an invitation to join up with a cowardly mob of stupid, brutal, racist, and murderous terrorists. Any such activity on the internet could easily be traced to it's source leading to the rapid conviction of it's perpetrators.

Hello Firechidist. I agree that these predators manipulate weak and vulnerable people to do their dirty work for them. We can't blame the internet for that any more than we could blame the mobile net or the iPhone. These tools serve the cause of freedom better than the cause of the the terrorists. They add to our freedom and strengthen our commerce and industry. What social media have you ever seen actively recruiting young people into terrorist activity?
