Abstract

Social media has become a critical tool for terrorist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda, leveraging these platforms to disseminate ideology, recruit members, and mobilize support. This study aims to identify the patterns of terrorist propaganda on social media and develop effective digital communication strategies to counteract these activities. The research employs a qualitative approach through literature review and content analysis, grounded in digital communication, strategy, and propaganda theories. The findings reveal that terrorist groups utilize emotional narratives to disseminate ideology, personalized approaches for recruitment, and social media to organize collective actions. Successful digital communication strategies include AI-based early detection, culturally relevant counter-narratives, digital literacy to raise public awareness, cross-sector collaboration, and robust law enforcement. The study's holistic approach is essential to counter terrorist propaganda, emphasizing close collaboration among governments, technology companies, and society. Further research is recommended to explore emerging technologies and innovative strategies to address the evolving threat.

Abstract

Information warfare in the context of asymmetric warfare poses a significant challenge to social and political stability in the digital era. This study is motivated by advancements in information and communication technology that enable instant dissemination of information, creating opportunities for state and non-state actors to exploit social vulnerabilities through disinformation and propaganda. The objective of this research is to analyze information warfare strategies in asymmetric warfare and their impact on national stability. Employing a qualitative method with a literature review approach, the study delves into concepts such as asymmetric warfare, social stability, and the digital era. The findings reveal that actors employ framing, agenda-setting, and disinformation techniques to create polarization and undermine the legitimacy of social institutions. Social media serves as a key tool in propagating highly effective propaganda. The study concludes that digital literacy and stronger social media regulations are critical for enhancing social resilience. Recommendations include developing comprehensive digital literacy programs, utilizing AI-based early detection technologies, and strengthening collaboration between the government and civil society.
