Security and law enforcement agencies can use social media platforms in the following ways for internal security

  • to use data available freely on social media platforms to gauge the mood of citizens on issues, predict patterns and possible flash points of disturbances, and prevent and react to cyber-crimes.
  • to build actionable intelligence which may support human intelligence efforts which could be shared across agencies, with built in safeguards to ensure that there is no encroaching upon the privacy of citizens.
  • Warning and Trend Prevision Tool: The ability to forestall future strategic and tactical contexts is of paramount importance in order to reduce the possibilities to be caught by surprise by threats and increase the resilience to them.
  • Institutional Communication Tool.
  • Influence, Propaganda and Deception Tool.
  • The use of Social Media allows not only to communicate, share or capture information, analyse socio-political dynamics and anticipate economic-financial trend, but also to describe events, model reality, influence the perception of a certain situation, a specific issue or a person, and influence choices and behaviours.
