Illegal gun markets on the #darkweb appear to be selling weapons at a market’s MSRP; no discounts (i.e. price of KRISS Vector ACP SDP ~1,500; a FLIR LS32 Thermal Night Vision monocular ~3800). But some dark web marketplaces sell handgrenades as an advantage over others. WILD! — PolitiTweet.org

Some #darkweb black markets advertise the sale of credit card skimmers - ATM insertables, pocket skimmers & GSM data readers - for prices ranging $450-$2,500. Breached credit cards is a lucrative business in the criminal underground, estimated a multimillion dollar industry. — PolitiTweet.org

#ISIS released a number of images showing multiple Nigerian Army casualties, in addition to a large cache of weapons and multiple army vehicles allegedly seized after militants ambushed an army convoy in Borno, #Nigeria. https://t.co/19Opai70Kp — PolitiTweet.org

Also, radicalization is a process and not an event; viewing the material won’t immediately change the behavior and beliefs of the viewers. Surely the propaganda enriches the process, but it isn’t determined by it. — PolitiTweet.org

Laith Alkhouri @MENAanalyst

Furthermore, I wouldn’t say that those who end up viewing the content are “potential recruits.” The users who obtain the links to the videos are already radicalized & would jump at the chance of *potentially* joining the ranks. — PolitiTweet.org

@techvsterrorism makes a good point. Viral doesn’t fit. Daily, I observe pro #ISIS users try to survive on Facebook, & they mostly fail. While some do survive (this is why there’s a FB team that gets flagged material & investigates it), ultimately majority gets suspended quickly. — PolitiTweet.org

As a number of countries, from Bulgaria to Japan, are opening up for tourists to visit again, with major airline discounts, discounts and waivers on tourist attractions, and hotel packages, the US seems to be banned from all of them. I think rightfully so. — PolitiTweet.org
