Europol: Online Activity Reshaping EU Terrorism Threat
Europol has published its latest annual EU Terrorism Situation and Trend Report (TE-SAT), highlighting a new phase in the terrorism threat. The report states that online ecosystems are fundamentally reshaping how extremist ideologies spread and how individuals are radicalised. It points to a larger, more diverse pool of potential perpetrators who are influenced by online content and virtual communities. The findings will guide EU Member States' counter-terrorism strategies, with an increased focus on monitoring online platforms.
Europol's annual report warns online radicalisation is creating a more unpredictable terrorism threat.
