I would also point out that there is a danger in perceived complacency (a.k.a. honeypots).<p>Here&#x27;s a metaphor of sorts: An MMORPG has a large number of &quot;bots&quot; which farm valuable items and in game experience. Player A bots and does not get banned. Player A tells Player B he did not get banned. Player B starts to bot. The botting problem intensifies.<p>People will see the persistence of social media presence by terror groups as an ineptitude of western governments. This will motivate them to try to exploit this weakness in whatever way they can think of.
