Potential Threats: Extremism and Terrorism in the Metaverse
Abstract
Throughout history, terrorism has adeptly leveraged technological advancements to further its ominous objectives. As societies have evolved, so too have the methods employed by extremists. From the early utilization of print media to spread propaganda, to the more recent harnessing of social media platforms for recruitment and radicalization, terrorist groups have consistently exploited the cutting edge of available technology. Now, with the dawn of the Metaverse, terrorism is about to be at another pivotal intersection. This digital realm, characterized by immersive virtual environments and complex interactivity, offers a new frontier for these malevolent actors. The metaverse not only provides concealed platforms for communication and coordination, but also introduces potential grounds for training, recruitment, and even virtual staging of attacks. As we venture deeper into this digital epoch, it's imperative that we remain vigilant, recognizing that as technology advances, so too will the tactics of those intent on using it for harm.
