Along for the ride
It seems that every group in the world tries to benefit from being seen online in one form or another, these days.
Militant, political, charitable or even criminal groups are able to use the internet to raise their profiles, promote their activities, spread propaganda or just provide an aliby.
The fact that online activity can raise visibility is both good and bad, depending on your point of view.

See how life just sort of works out evenly?
