CEP is calling on Twitter to immediately take action and adopt policies to stop extremists from misusing the social network. Extremists are misusing Twitter to spread terrorist propaganda, radicalize and recruit new members, and target at-risk youth. Twitter must take action now to stop extremists from weaponizing the Internet.
ISIS's presence on social media is a cancer. It continues to metastasize, largely unaddressed by government, the private sector, or social media companies. One of the most pressing public safety and national security issue we face today is without a doubt the hijacking and weaponization of social media platforms by extremist groups to radicalize and recruit new members, and plan violent attacks against innocent people around the world.
Help us demand action from Twitter. Please sign the petition and join the CEP community in holding Twitter accountable. Together we can send a message and demand Twitter take action to disrupt extremists online.
