Mossack Fonseca is the Panama-based company that stands accused of creating “a business in creating fake businesses,” as Reddit user turcois succinctly explains. “Companies could ‘invest’ millions of dollars [in these fake companies] … then … wouldn’t be taxed.”

Exploring Digital Diplomacy by Ilan Manor

Much has been written over the past year about ISIS’ use of social media to recruit young Muslims to its ranks. The use of the internet, and social media, in order to recruit members to extremist groups is by no means a new occurrence.
