Research notes

  • JSON-LD datePublished 2018-05-02T12:21:00-0400; no individual byline on the page.
  • The page's og/secondary headline is 'ISIS' Amaq online propaganda machine hit by Europol, US cyber...' - the article headline itself is the one recorded here.
  • 'Seemingly hosted' is the article's own hedge on the Phoenix, Arizona attribution; do not harden it.
