Fahd Ismail, from south east London, admitted six charges relating to offences under the Terrorism Act dating back to 2017.
The 33-year-old shared information online encouraging “violent Jihad” and “glorifying acts of terrorism”, police said.
He was jailed for two years and nine months at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday.
Commander Richard Smith, head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said: “This was a diligent and thorough investigation by highly skilled Counter Terrorism officers, which prevented further dissemination of extremist material.”
The court heard that Ismail was first arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Terrorism Act on June 17 2020.
Six months later he was charged with four counts of possession of a document or record “containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
On April 30 this year, Ismail had a further two charges under the Terrorism Act 2006 added to his indictment, police said.
Mr Smith added: “I encourage anyone who has suspicions about material someone is viewing online to report it to police without delay. Trust your instincts and know that you are never wasting our time.”
