ISIS: the world's most deadly technology startups-ISIS-IT information
According to the Vanity Fair story, ISIS (the Islamic State), there is one more terrible weapon than guns or bombs: this is the Internet. For Americans the war is not new, in fact, estimated United States 222 years embroiled in conflicts over the last 240 years, accounted for more than 90% of their national history. But now the United States finds itself with ISIS war is totally different.
In Viet Nam during the war, the United States know who fought in combat--as the Montenegrin wars, the first world war, second world war, the Gulf war, Iraq war and Afghanistan war. But the thought and ISIS--from all over the area the same coalition of mobs, and with increasing globalization-fighting ignorance, often require technology.
ISIS, even more than most tech startups to make better use of technology. Ghost Security counter-terrorism organization Group has pointed out that in the past,ISIS has used almost all social applications to communicate and publish promotional content, mainstream social media including Twitter and Facebook, encrypted chat applications such as Telegram and messaging platform like WhatsApp.
Beheading video was posted on YouTube, a terrorist organization, released on LiveLeak even more terrible video. They use a very secure Apple iMessage communicate using Internet radio to believers in global publicity. When the terrorist attack occurred, they used Twitter claimed responsibility for the incident, and their followers are comments and Favorites.
Perhaps the most frightening thing is, which dominates the modern terrorist network, through their position in the social media rapidly rising can be seen. Technology does allow ISIS to establish terror networks. United States on this special headaches. On November 13, 2015, ISIS launched terrorist attacks in Paris, killing 130 people and 368 injured.
The armed terrorists sneaked into France and the smuggling of weapons from the Balkans. However, in Orlando, ISIS has not sent anyone to the United States, nor does it provide any weapons. Killer aomaer·Mading (Omar Mateen) just saw ISIS social media, then buy arms in gun store near his home.
Following a wild fire in his Pulse night club, ISIS very easily in a statement issued by social media spread, almost like a technology start-up companies issuing press releases product upgrades. ISIS really subvert the idea of war, do not need to destroy enemy tanks and guns, just need the technology and data.
In fact, United States officials do not even know and who fought, how many of the enemy. By some estimates, only 9,000 extremists of the Organization, and others estimated that at least 200,000 fighters. Technology's role in this conflict played, is said to be members of the ISIS's Twitter account, and you don't know is a terrorist in charge of 500 different accounts or vice versa.
They are in Syria or in the United States? Living in big cities and small villages? Is manipulated behind the scenes and cause leadership infighting or scattered around the world, just watched a propaganda YouTube video of Jihad, just as Martin? Disappointing is that Silicon Valley and United States Government ought to use the data and techniques to help, but on how to cooperate to prevent these attacks continue to diverge.
Last week CIA Chief John Brennan disclosed their conflict with Twitter, Twitter recently banned government services Dataminr cooperation and identification of potential terrorist attacks. (Dataminr announced in March in Brussels, 10 minutes before the news media knew of the terrorist attacks. ）
Earlier, in the shooting in the city of San Bernardino, Apple refused to help FBI unlock iPhone Farooq. Now the Orlando event, gunmen using a Facebook account, according to reports, Martin released terrorist's post before the attack. Republican senators, Senate homeland security and governmental Affairs Committee Chairman, Ron Johnson, wrote to Mark Zuckerberg said on Thursday, government officials found "5 Facebook account appears to be associated with aomaer·Mading."
He asked Facebook to provide data for all these accounts. But maybe one day, Facebook could provide such information before the attacks or prevent them from publishing. As to why Silicon Valley companies do not want to help the United States Government has a number of different perspectives. Apple says that, once the door is set for the Government, it will be difficult to stop into monitoring citizens of other countries.
Critics say Apple is engaged in marketing, to differentiate themselves from more open to Google. Twitter looks very noble based on freedom, but this freedom is only a theoretical rather than a reality, terrorists liked the platform information. ISIS is the use of Silicon Valley called the network effect on the core. Someone said: "terrorism is essentially a psychological warfare, gains its efficiency on multiply. ”
For example, a Chair if you are connected to the Internet, will be able to tell you how many people have been, who they are, what they do, and when and why, there are many other data. Terrorist networks as well. "Because of the role of science and technology, front-line and non-combat zone boundaries have disappeared. ”
In fact, many people are used to thinking of the enemy from a foreign country, but technology to make enemies everywhere--including China. Core said that ISIS was a company that manufactured hatred and terror, is looking for effective terror methods to be developed. Against Muslims is not only racist, foolish, useless but to let extremists inciting more hatred.
Although Silicon Valley seem to want and United States Governments worked closely, but there have been some changes. Twitter in the past 1 years constantly cleared ISIS account, 125,000 ISIS account is deleted in February, though still refuses to help the Government. Irony is that Islamic extremists and we like to change ideas, ISIS has wanted us to maintain the status quo.
ISIS attacks need to circumvent the law in other countries, but the United States did not need to break the law. In the United States to buy firearms, it's easy and legitimate, and the best weapon is precisely the United States invented the Internet, social media sites and the American operations.
ISIS：世界上最致命的科技创业公司 - ISIS - IT资讯
据《名利场》报道，ISIS（伊斯兰国）手中有一件武器比枪炮或炸弹更可怕：这就是互联网。对美国人来说战争并不新鲜，事实上，据估计美国在过去240年里有222年卷入了冲突，占其国家历史的90%以上。但现在美国发现自己与ISIS的战争完全不同。
在越南战争期间，美国知道在和谁作战，在哪作战——如同黑山战争、第一次世界大战、第二次世界大战、海湾战争、伊拉克战争甚至阿富汗战争一样。但与ISIS——由遍布一个地区的思想相同暴徒组成的联盟，并日益全球化——作战则一无所知，很多时候都需要科技手段。
ISIS甚至比多数科技新创公司更好地利用了科技。反恐组织Ghost Security Group过去曾指出，ISIS利用了几乎所有社交应用进行通讯和发布宣传内容，包括主流社交媒体Twitter和Facebook，加密聊天应用如Telegram和消息平台如WhatsApp。
这个恐怖组织在YouTube上发布了斩首视频，在LiveLeak上甚至发布更可怕的视频。他们使用非常安全的苹果iMessage进行通讯，使用网络电台在全球对信徒进行宣传。当发生恐怖袭击时，他们使用Twitter宣布对事件负责，他们的追随者会发表评论和收藏。
也许最可怕的是，该组织主导着现代恐怖网络，这点通过他们在社交媒体的地位在快速上升可以看出。科技确实可让ISIS建立高效的恐怖网络。美国对这种手段特别头痛。2015年11月13日，ISIS在巴黎发动了恐怖袭击，造成130人死亡和368人受伤。
这些武装恐怖分子是非法潜入法国并从巴尔干半岛走私武器。然而在奥兰多，ISIS却没有派任何人去美国，也未提供任何武器。凶手奥马尔·马丁（Omar Mateen）只是看了ISIS的社交媒体，然后在他家附近的枪支店购买武器。
在他对Pulse夜总会进行疯狂扫射后，ISIS发布的声明非常轻松地在社交媒体散布开来，几乎就像科技新创公司发布产品升级的新闻稿一般。ISIS真正颠覆了战争观念，不需要坦克和枪炮摧毁敌人，只需要技术和数据。
事实上，美国官员甚至不知道在和谁作战，敌人有多少。一些人估计，该组织只有9000名极端分子，其他的人估计至少有20万武装分子。科技对这种矛盾起到了推波助澜的作用，看看据说是ISIS成员的Twitter账号，你无法知道是一个恐怖分子掌管500个不同账号还是相反。
他们在叙利亚还是在美国？是住在大城市还是小村庄？是幕后的人操纵一切并引起领导层内讧，还是分散在全球各地的个人，只是看了宣传圣战的YouTube视频，如马丁一样？令人失望的是，硅谷和美国政府本该利用数据和技术来提供帮助，却在如何合作阻止这些袭击上不断出现分歧。
上周CIA局长约翰·布伦南透露了他们与Twitter的矛盾，最近Twitter禁止政府机构与鉴别潜在恐怖袭击的服务Dataminr合作。（Dataminr在3月就宣布在新闻媒体报道前10分钟就知道了布鲁塞尔的恐怖袭击。）
此前，在圣伯纳迪诺市枪击案中，苹果拒绝帮助FBI解锁法鲁克的iPhone。现在的奥兰多事件，枪手使用了Facebook账号，据报道，马丁在袭击前发布了恐怖的帖子。共和党参议员、参议院国土安全和政府事务委员会主席罗恩·约翰逊，周四写信给马克·扎克伯格称，政府官员发现“5个Facebook账号似乎与奥马尔·马丁有关”。
他要求Facebook提供所有这些账号的数据。但也许有天，Facebook能在袭击前提供这些数据，或者阻止这些内容的发布。至于硅谷公司为什么不愿帮助美国政府有多个不同观点。苹果称，一旦为政府设置了后门，将难以阻止其他国家潜入监视公民。
批评者认为苹果是在搞营销，使自己区别于更开放的谷歌。而基于言论自由的Twitter看起来很高尚，但这种自由只是理论上的而非现实，恐怖分子很喜欢利用该平台宣传。ISIS核心上是利用硅谷所称的网络效应。有人称：“恐怖主义从根本上说是心理战，在联网系统上其效率提高了百万倍。”
比如，一个椅子如果与互联网连接，就能告诉你有多少人坐过，他们是谁，他们做了什么，什么时候和为什么坐，还有很多其他数据。恐怖分子网络也是如此。“由于科技的作用，前线和非战斗区的界限已经消失。”
事实上，很多人习惯于认为敌人来自外国，但科技使敌人可以无处不在——包括国内。从核心上说，ISIS是一家制造仇恨和恐怖的公司，寻找的是有效制造恐怖气氛的方法以获得发展。禁止穆斯林不只是种族主义，也是愚蠢的，除了让极端分子煽动更多仇恨别无用处。
虽然硅谷似乎不想与美国政府密切合作，但也出现了一些变化。Twitter在过去1年里不断清除ISIS账号，在2月就删除了12.5万个ISIS的账号，虽然依然拒绝帮助政府。具有讽刺意味的是，与我们很像改变伊斯兰极端分子的思想一样，ISIS却想让我们保持现状。
ISIS在其他国家需要规避法律发动袭击，但在美国却不需要犯法。在美国购买枪支很容易也合法，而最好的武器恰恰是美国发明的互联网，以及美国人运营的社交媒体网站。
