US Department of Homeland Security will not depend solely on in-house systems to spot extremist threats on social media. The Wall Street Journal reported that the intelligence officer and initiative leader John Cohen issued a press statement. He said Homeland Security is looking at hiring companies to analyze social networks for signs of impending terrorism and other extremist violence. Cohen said the department had been studying social media before, but the outside partners would help dramatically expand these efforts.
