In Politico Magazine, Jacob Silverman reports on the U.S. State Department’s efforts to fight terrorists’ dominance of social media. Under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the office began engaging in “twenty-first-century statecraft,” taking to Twitter and other social sites to try and undermine the hold that organizations like ISIL have on young minds. This could be a brilliant way of engaging, Silverman writes. “But State’s messages usually arrive with all the grace of someone’s dad showing up at a college party”—that is to say, the State Department is losing the Twitter war.
