Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to provide an answer to two key questions: Which is the link between contemporary extremism and social media? And how can social media be employed to counter the spread of extremism? Today, social networks, such as Facebook and micro-blogging, such as Twitter have become communication channels favored both by ordinary citizens, but also by political leaders and public institutions. Their potential in terms of interaction, exchange of messages in real time, mobilization and coordination are enormous as seen during the Arab Spring.
