Mohammed Abdulkalik Fadil Alazawi, of Bedford Grove in Eastbourne, is accused of three counts of encouraging people to commit, prepare or instigate acts of terrorism.
It comes after counter-terror officers arrested a man on Friday on suspicion of expressing an opinion in support of the so-called Islamic State group – also know as Daesh – as part of an investigation into Islamist terrorism related to posts on social media platforms.
The operation was led by Counter Terrorism Policing South East with support from Sussex Police.
On Friday, Sussex Police Chief Superintendent Justin Burtensaw said: “I appreciate arrests of this nature can cause people in the local community to feel unsettled, however Sussex Police has been working closely to support our colleagues in Counter Terrorism Policing South East as part of this pre-planned operation.
“There is not believed to be any immediate risk to those in the community but I would urge anyone who has any concerns to contact police.”
Alazawi, 35, was charged on Saturday and has been remanded into custody.
He will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Monday.
