Facebook (FB) is being accused of inadvertently helping Islamist extremists connect and recruit new members. A new report in The Telegraph cites research suggesting that the social media giant connected and introduced thousands of extremists through its ‘suggested friends’ feature. One writer who spoke to CBSN says ‘it's cause for concern.’ The research was conducted by the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit organization that pressures companies to remove extremist content online. It plans to release its findings in an extensive report later this month. ‘The failure to effectively police its platform has allowed Facebook to become a place where extensive (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria or ISIS) supporting networks exist, propaganda is disseminated people are radicalized and new supporters are recruited,’ researcher Gregory Waters told The Telegraph.
