The investigation indicates that the Islamic State circumvents the Facebook-owned social media platform to celebrate the killing of nonbelievers with everything from images of the ISIS logo, dead soldiers and beheadings to photos of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi himself.
The investigation exposes serious flaws in the ability of the social media giants to police their sites and prevent extremists exploiting them to promote their causes,” Telegraph reporter Charles Hymas wrote. “The investigation uncovered dozens of accounts daily on Instagram carrying images of terror attacks in Syria, threats to expand the jihad to the rest of the world, a beheading video, Isis fighters combat training, al Baghdadi speeches, posters extolling jihad and very young children in combat gear.”
An Instagram spokesperson told Fox News that “there is no place for terrorists, terrorist propaganda, or the praising of terror activity” on the platform.
