Summary:New media today, spurred by the advent of the latest Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) has given rise to a myriad of ways in which human communication has evolved.

As states become more aware of the threat possibilities in which new media poses, securitization of the new media, albeit in some cases significant aspects of it, becomes an increasingly prevalent practice.
