Cyber Crime and Terrorism in the Facebook Case

Discuss the various ways Facebook information was used and weaponized for geopolitical and domestic terrorism purposes.

As Facebook began to monetize the collection of its members’ data to expand its profit margins, nefarious actors began to weaponize that data for great harm against society in general and our governing institutions and systems. Who were the various actors, and how did they use the weaponized information for their causes? Do you consider the weaponizing of information/data a cybercrime? Why or why not? What should agencies be responsible for monitoring and enforcing the weaponizing of information/data in order to prevent it from being used to provoke Cyber Terrorism? And how do those agencies enforce those laws without inhibiting our first amendment?
