    On twitter, facebook, messaging apps etc.?

    Seems like a totally unhot thing to do. Easily preventable.

    They track them to see who is being recruited and who are the people behind those accounts.

    Probably because a lot of them are operated by intelligence organizations in an effort to find future terrorists or those interested in terrorist propaganda.

    A lot of adds for hitmen are also run by government agencies. Contact them and end up in jail.

    You do realize that these guys in San Bernardino weren't recruited through social media from the available evidence?

    The reality is that the gov't is very limited in allowing anyone to have an account with a business. It's up to the businesses to make those decisions until a law is passed in Congress that can survive judicial review ultimately. I mean, this is what republicans want - businesses to have the power, not the gov't. And so it is.

    Pretty much this. OP, which "authorities" are you referring to, and what law gives them the power to "allow" or disallow ISIS propaganda accounts?

    Because they look on social media to see who claims responsibility for terror attacks. What a joke.
