A new plan to fight ISIS: turning big data on social media #vmvwiki ps
President Obama’s new anti-ISIS messaging czar Michael Lumpkin announced the Center for Global Engagement this week, formed by Executive Order.
The new government body is aimed at modifying the conversation around
terrorism, extremism, and the West’s overall profile. The initiative is
distinct from past projects because it is aimed not at countering ISIS
messages with US government ones, but at amplifying genuine, moderate
messages throughout the Islamic cyber-world. Lumpkin told
the Daily Beast that he sees this as a necessary evolution in the face
of terrorist info-tech: “You need a network to defeat a network, so
we’re going to take network approach to our messaging.”
