VOX-Pol Publication	Disrupting Daesh: Measuring Takedown of Online Terrorist Material and Its Impacts View Abstract Disrupting Daesh: Measuring Takedown of Online Terrorist Material and Its Impacts This report seeks to contribute to public and policy debates on the value of social media disruption activity with respect to terrorist material.

Our findings challenge the notion that Twitter remains a conducive space for Islamic State (IS) accounts and communities to flourish, although IS continues to distribute propaganda through this channel. However, not all jihadists on Twitter are subject to the same high levels of disruption as IS, and we show that there is differential disruption taking place.
