The internet provides for multiple avenues for people with bad intentions to radicalize and recruit others. 

Reddit is a social media platform that provides for sharing of all content in sections called subreddits. The freedom of Reddit has created a breeding ground for white supremacist recruitment as they are free to get in contact over similar ideals and idolize other white supremacists.

​

An example of using the internet and social media to plan attacks is white supremacists planning their charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally which resulted in a vehicle ramming attack on counter protesters. 

Incel is a group of men who connect via making youtube videos and also use other social media platforms to form a community. Their ideals are to make videos about their life and how women wont sleep with them. They believe and spread that women who wont sleep with men need to be killed. There has already been multiple murders carried out by incel. They idolize and romanticize elliot rodgers online to use as motivation to commit murder as he did.
