Since the beginning of the wave of terror attacks by Daesh in Europe and the United States in 2015, social media corporations Meta, Google and Twitter have proclaimed a new mission to counter terrorist exploitation of their services. By way of a discourse analysis of their corporate communications, this article analyses the ways in which these firms have appropriated the essentially contested category of “terrorism”, highlighting their discursive strategies to empty this concept of its political aspects
