ISIS puts Zuckerberg, Dorsey on hit list for blocking terror content

The Islamic State has made life threats to Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey in a new video which shows their photos riddled with digitally added bullet holes, mocking the social media websites' attempts to block terrorist content from their platforms.

In the 25-mi nute video, IS claims they are fighting back against efforts by the social me dia giants to wi pe out their ac counts promo ting terrorism.
The video in cludes a direct threat to the tech entrepreneurs, branding them allies of the American “Crusader government“.

The video, titled “Flames of the Supporters“ and released by a group calling themselves “the sons of the Caliphate army“, ends with a direct threat to the two men.

A slide toward the end of the video reads, in English: “To Mark and Jack, founders of Twitter and Facebook and to their Crusader govern ment. You announce daily that you suspended many of our accounts and to you we say: is that all you can do? you are not in our league. If you close one account we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete you (sic) sites, #Sons_Caliphate_Army“.

In a separate slide, they also claim to have hacked more than 10,000 FB accounts, 150 FB groups, and more than 5,000 Twitter accounts. Two scholars who track IS activity online confirmed that the video was posted to multiple IS forums, including some on the social media platform.

IS and related terrorist groups have targeted Dorsey at least twice in the past year.A group of self-identified IS supporters threatened the Twitter founder and CEO in March of 2015 for closing hundreds of their social media accounts. Twitter seems to have only stepped up its efforts, suspending 1,25,000 accounts for threatening or supporting terrorist acts and activities last month. A Twitter spokesman reiterated the company's policy and progress on suspending accounts that promote terrorism or any violent threat.
