Counter-narratives and Info Ops: Debating Jihadi YouTube Videos

[Brett Patron]

I'm noticing the proliferation of the use of "cyber" the way "COIN" was the buzzword du jour a few years ago.

This is not "cyberspace" we're talking about here. This is an information war. Whether IO is appropriately categorized as a cyberspace operation has yet to be settled. But what "IO" is certainly has more fidelity.

What is described in post #1 is IO, not cyber. What is discussed does not involve defending or attacking virtual/computer networks or devices. (Ceding the Internet implies letting hackers have their way with US and other networks.)
Blocking a site, while a network operations function, is a decision made regarding content, not network security.
