Isis threatens Twitter employees over blocked accounts
The Guardian ^ | March 2, 2015 | Alex Hern

Isis supporters have threatened Twitter employees, including co-founder Jack Dorsey specifically, with death over the social network’s practice of blocking accounts associated with the group.

In an Arabic post uploaded to the image-sharing site JustPaste.it, the group told Twitter that “your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you”. It warned that Jack Dorsey and Twitter employees have “become a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate and supporters scattered among your midst!”

“You started this failed war … We told you from the beginning it’s not your war, but you didn’t get it and kept closing our accounts on Twitter, but we always come back. But when our lions come and take your breath, you will never come back to life.”

Twitter’s terms of service explicitly ban “direct, specific threats of violence against others”, and the company has followed YouTube in proactively shutting down Isis-related Twitter accounts, with the aid of the UK’s counter-terrorism internet referral unit.

Welcome to the new world order brought to you by Obama, liberals and all the failed defenders of our way of life.

When you look at it....Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, the video-porn producers, Fetlife, Flickr, Instagram, MySpace, NING, Pinterest, etc.....all are manipulated and used by radical Islam. As much as people want all these ‘tools’.....they’ve all been converted and used daily by the radicals.

See how we’re all so much safer now that Obama is leading the charge to appease terrorism.

“Welcome to the new world order brought to you by Obama, liberals and all the failed defenders of our way of life.”

Yes but think about how peaceful and tolerant the world has suddenly become since Obama gave the Islamists free reign. /sarcasm

The unfortunate 18 y.o. kid who sweeps the floors at Twitter HQ will likely be the one who encounters a crazed jihadist, too.
