Conway, Maura orcid logoORCID: 0000-0003-4216-8592, Mattheis, Ashley A., McCafferty, Sean and Mohamed, Miraji H. (2024) Violent Extremism and Terrorism Online in 2023: The Year in Review. Policy Report. Publications Office of the European Union, 2023.

Abstract
This report describes and discusses developments in the violent extremist and terrorist online scene(s) in the 12-month period from 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. It accomplishes this by surveying, synopsising, and integrating the findings of relevant articles and reports produced by academics, think-tanks, civil society, and governmental organisations; high quality press reports; and the first-hand online experience and primary research of the authors. The report is divided into four major parts: Part I focuses on the online aftermath of Hamas’ massive marauding terrorist attack in southern Israel on 7 October 2023; Part II on online Jihadism, particularly that linked to al-Qaeda and the so-called ‘Islamic State’ (hereafter IS); Part III focuses on the online activities of the extreme right, particularly its European and US variants; and Part IV details the responses of a range of legislators and Internet companies to online extremist and terrorist activity over the course of the last 12 months. We conclude by pointing to a five issues in the violent extremism and terrorism online realm(s) that bear watching in 2024.
