Their usage of social media is a given, but does anyone recall the last time ISIS actually successfully hacked anyone? Now compare hackivists Anonymous. ISIS are more well known for violence than their technological skills. | |

I did originally attempt to include a link for sources declaring ISIS being technologically incompetent but I was impeded by the link limit. I consider out of the three biggies, that ISIS being incompetent was the most self-evident of the three and therefore dropped the link. | |

With fake IDs, they can stay in the country legally as long as they like, rather than the government being able to get rid of them as soon as they're found. | |

Authoritharians have no problems with people losing freedom and privacy, and would like to see people criticising the government in jail. For them, that downside is actually an upside. Enough so that they will gloss over the other downsides. | |
