The Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime and Corruption has opened an investigation into five people suspected of spreading propaganda for the terrorist organization Islamic State online. The suspects are aged 22 to 34.

The case, however distant it sounds, is a reminder that radicalization is long no longer something that happens "somewhere on another continent." It happens online, in languages we understand, and often among young people in their early twenties - the age when a person is most easily drawn into someone else's stories packaged as a cause.

The question such investigations always raise is whether the reaction comes early enough. Propaganda that spreads for months on the open internet is no secret to anyone - it's visible, indexed, shared. The institutions react when an investigation is opened, but how much time passed before that? And more importantly - what is society doing for the young so they don't reach the point where someone else's propaganda looks more appealing than their own future?
