24/02/2016

The Islam extremists ISIS has released a video featuring the faces of Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg being riddled with mock bullet holes.

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.

As a respond to both social media's attempt to close multiple ISIS-related accounts, ISIS has began its threat to the two companies.

During the video, overwritten text proclaims: "If you close one account we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete you [sic] sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true." In the video, the terrorist organization claims to control more than 10,000 Facebook accounts, 150 Facebook groups and 5,000 Twitter profiles.

Two scholars who were tracking ISIS activity online confirmed that the video was posted to multiple ISIS forums, including some on the social media platform Telegram.
