Transnational terrorism has always been a security issue of great sovereign concern, and dissident groups have consistently taken advantage of the potentialities of the new digital communications media in direct opposition to the fundamental constitution of the nation-state. The attacks of Septemon the United States of America, followed closely by numerous instances of terrorist-related activity around the world, demonstrated that modern-day terrorist networks are widely interconnected and connected to each other, and are able to harness effectively the flexibility afforded by the Internet and its associated technologies in order to achieve key aims, goals, and objectives. This book chapter investigates the ‘winner-takes-all’ hypothesis in relation to how the Internet and its associated platforms and technologies have been harnessed to enhance the activities of both transnational terrorist networks and the organisations, clusters, and individuals dedicated to researching and combating them. The issues covered by this research raise important questions about the nature and the use of technology by state and non-state actors in an asymmetric ‘information war' of how ideas of terrorism, surveillance, and censorship are conceptualised, and manner in which the role of the nation-state in countering and pre-empting threats to national security has been redefined.
