This book constructively articulates the key issues and shifting nature of social media and technology. It also critically examines the impact of social media on foreign policy, economic security, national security, social behaviour, conflict prevention and global peace and security in the larger framework. Social media is both an asset and a threat to social and political well-being. There are various types of media used globally that provide platforms to debate as part of the freedom of expression which can also be misused for propaganda, spread hate speeches, rumours and fake news. They can also create instability in society and threaten national security. Apart from this, around 90 per cent of organised terrorism on the Internet takes place through social media.
