Cases, context and careful comparison

AIR is treated here as a socio-technical pathway, not an ideology and not a single cause. The tools separate documented evidence from interpretation and keep missing or non-comparable data visible.

Note: This is an exploratory research and public-education tool for comparing publicly sourced cases in which social media and/or internet use was identified as a factor in a terrorist attack, thwarted plot or CIVM incident. It works on a smartphone, but charts are clearest on a larger screen. Reasonable efforts have been made to ensure data accuracy and completeness; the dashboard and exported data are provided without warranty or guarantee. Any commercial, legal, operational, policy or other applied use is undertaken at the user’s own risk.
