USIM Research Repository.https://oarep.usim.edu.my/handle/123456789/13160Matric: 4182721 (FSU)Recent technological advancements have led to the proliferation of tools such as social media, websites, digital currencies, the Internet of Things (IoT), and interactive online games. There is a risk that terrorist organizations might exploit these tools for nefarious purposes. This study aims to explore how modern technologies are employed to recruit youth for terrorist activities, focusing on the context of UAE law. It assesses the effectiveness of UAE legislation in countering such threats and compares it with the legal framework in Egypt, proposing potential solutions. Qualitative research methods, including textual and comparative analysis, along with critical evaluation, are employed to understand the use of modern technologies by terrorist groups. The study incorporates interviews with UAE experts in law and cybercrime and concludes that, while UAE law includes mechanisms to counteract the misuse of technology for terrorism, there is an evident need for specialized training and enhancement in enforcement. The findings highlight that to effectively counter the misuse of technology for the recruitment of youth, there must be a joint effort among various security entities. Additionally, it is essential to increase community awareness through educational and religious institutions. The research recommends the updating of laws and regulations to stay abreast of technological advancements, continuous monitoring of diverse online platforms and services, and the bolstering of the capacity of companies, organizations, and governments to address cyber threats.otherInternet of Things (IoT); UAE law; UAE legislation; Cybercrime; Digital currenciesComparative lawComputer crimes-- Law and legislation -- United Arab EmiratesTerrorist organizationsCyberterrorismtext::thesis::doctoral thesis
