alerting authorities --- Many countries do not have a national security agency with the relevant resources and expertise to act on online terror activities. Should some come across some violent images online depicting and insinuating possible violence, in small island developing states, we report to the police who would likely contact either their regional counterparts or Interpol. However, timing is critical as these postings may be online and removed or deleted in the next hour while the attackers may already be into their act. Therefore while reporting is important, greater communication efficiencies should be in place nationally,, regionally and internationally for report in real-time to at least act quickly to avoid any mass casualties.
