Virtual ‘caliphate’? ISIS takes advantage of coronavirus crisis to make comeback on social media |
2020-04-17 |
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Digital Media Center in Iraq revealed an increase in the number of accounts belonging to the so-called "Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... " (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) and their supporters on social media platforms, especially Facebook. The center said in a blurb that "this return came during the past months that accompanied the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ![]() pandemic and led to a delay in the response of Facebook’s support to delete accounts." "The members of ISIS and those who support them took advantage of the opportunity and started creating new accounts or reactivating old accounts, and they published and promoted their terrorist operations through the platform," they said The Center warned users not to interact with these posts even if it was criticizing them through comments or sharing them, which leads to unintentionally free promotion. They called on users to make "the necessary concerted efforts to counter the terrorist tide through extensive reporting of these accounts so that Facebook closes them." |
