bullets in the amateur footage which emerged . The
dreaded Islamic State militant group has made death 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-minute video, the IS claim they are fighting back against efforts by the
social media giants to wipe their platforms of accounts promoting terrorism.
The
video includes a direct threat to the tech entrepreneurs, branding them allies
of the American “Crusader government”.

A slide toward the end of the video
reads, in English: “To Mark and Jack, founders of Twitter and Facebook and to
their Crusader government. 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 Facebook accounts, 150
Facebook groups, and more than 5,000 Twitter accounts. Two scholars who track
ISIS activity online confirmed that the video was posted to multiple ISIS
forums, including some on the social media platform.
