Seminar Group Project

Divide participants into multiple groups with each group taking 10—15 minutes to develop a list of methods to monitor social media content. Upon completion, have groups exchange their lists of methods, with groups taking 10—15 minutes to develop measures that an adversary might use to reduce the effectiveness of the identified monitoring methods. Meet as a group and discuss the offensive tactics selected by the groups and the defensive measures to counter the tactics that were developed by the groups.
