The article is letting readers know that social media networking such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube are used as communication services for terrorists. They use the social network to chat amongts each other to plot attacks and other tactics. Each one can be used like Facebook to monitor military personnel and Youtube to spread news that can be on videos. From this article you can tell that popular social networking can be used by terrorists for bad. They can retrieve information about the government, people, places and use all of that to plot on another social network. They can gather almost anything with the internet up and running. Once something is up on the internet it can be seen by the public and can be used against us just like how terrorists use social media.
