DPI Focus on current developments among Islamist influencer groups
The new DPI Focus "Immer noch jung. Hip. Islamistisch?" examines current changes in Islamist influencer groups in the Hizb ut-Tahrir environment. The analysis follows on from the DPI publication "Jung. Hip. Islamistisch. Der Social-Media-Auftritt von Generation Islam, Realität Islam und Muslim Interaktiv" and examines the supposedly sudden shift in the communication strategy of Generation Islam and Realität Islam. In the recent past, some content has been deleted and new posts now appear under real names. In their new direction, the channels are focusing more on interaction and personal contact with the community in addition to redesigned corporate designs. At first glance, the changes appear to follow the general trend towards more personalization in social media. On closer inspection, however, the question arises whether strategic or legal considerations may also have played a role. The analysis also examined initial reactions from followers as well as developments in reach and platform strategies.
The full report provides an in-depth presentation of the documented developments and their possible effects.
