That solution seems less practical in an era where the misinformation coupled with rapid spread via digital media can result in attempted coups.

Playing censorship whack a mole on social media was one of the things that drove recruits into ISIS's arms.

It didnt potential recruits from seeing the propaganda but it did quell incipient doubts in their minds that they might be the bad guys.

Censorship is good at that.

Censorship can work but only if you lock EVERYTHING down, north korea/china style. The more failed censorship governments engage in the more attractive this route becomes.

I hadn't heard this censorship / ISIS connection before. Do you have a source with more information?

Let them vent their frustrations on Twitter instead of taking it to government institutions then.

Are you referring to the Viking?
