The episode examines the phenomenon of cyberterrorism and digital radicalization as one of the most complex challenges of the 21st century, focusing on how technology and social networks have become tools for spreading extremist ideologies, recruiting followers, and generating fear on a global scale. It explores the causes linked to algorithmic influence, emotional manipulation, and the creation of echo chambers that isolate users; the consequences ranging from misinformation to the normalization of violence; and the main actors involved, including terrorist organizations, digital platforms, governments, and citizens. The discussion concludes with proposals centered on digital literacy, international cooperation, and shared responsibility between states and technology companies to strengthen security and social resilience in the digital environment.
