Facebook’s “suggested friends” feature is helping jihadists around the world connect with one another to forge new terror networks, according to a new study. “Facebook, in their desire to connect as many people as possible have inadvertently created a system which helps connect extremists and terrorists,” said Robert Postings, one of the researchers. But this also allows ISIS supporters to contact and communicate with fellow sympathizers, researchers found. Out of the 1,000 terrorism-supporting profiles examined, fewer than half were suspended by Facebook six months later, the study found. “This project has laid bare Facebook’s inability or unwillingness to efficiently address extremist content on their site,” Waters said.
