Mobile devices a deterrent for extremism?

Air Force Public Affairs put this out on Twitter today and it's an interesting read. Haven't finished the entire article, but the author, Lt. Col. Michael Meyer, suggests that a mobile device/social media program for public diplomacy could be a deterrent for extremism.

Any thoughts?
