Summary/Abstract: In the last decades, the impact of terrorism on civil society has reached new proportions, boosting from major local or regional incidents, to a global phenomenon that affects the lives of thousands of people annually, on all continents. As technology evolved, and international coalitions stepped up the fight against terrorism and radical groups, the latter had to use more sophisticated means to expand their sphere of influence and evade the authorities in recruitment campaigns. As a result, terrorists and extremists have increasingly created online tools to support their illicit activities, and today these activities are one of the greatest threats to the peace and security of the modern world. The present paper seeks to identify those effective means that should be used to prevent and combat terrorism, violent extremism and radicalization through the Internet.
