Then why is terrorist content discussed so much in content moderation circles, specifically the fact that content moderators are viewing it so often it induces PTSD in them?
ISIS has put out high definition videos of executions. That's the opposite of "not touching digital comms"

They've been showboating killing online for decades. But showboating should not be conflated using digital communications to coordinate their efforts. I'm not saying they don't use digital communications. But this is hardly proof of that.
