ISIS Makes Direct Threats Against Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey (cnet.com)
wjcofkc writes: A group of ISIS supporters have threatened to take down Facebook and Twitter, as well as their leaders. In a 25-minute propaganda video released by a group calling itself "the sons of the Caliphate army," photographs of both technology leaders are riddled with bullets. The video was first spotted by Vocativ. The threats are being made over the two companies' efforts to seek out and remove terrorist-related content on their respective platforms. The group is quoted as saying, "If you close one account, we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete your sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true."
Oh, I got my terrorist organizations mixed up. My bad #notFBI

A world without Facebook? Whatever would we do?
Those who think the Pen is mightier than the Sword are about to learn the unpoetic truth that a person with only a pen needs to have some really good friends with swords.
Just in time for the Zuck to respond with *angry face*.
Life is not for the lazy.
All those Asian and Jewish women who work for Facebook will kick you sorry asses back to the stone ages.
So the lesson is that even a sadistic bunch of mediaevalist nutbag bandits aren't entirely bad...

>> 25-minute propaganda video
Anyone seen SlashDot's video editor lately? A 25-minute rambling screed sounds like the kind of thing that's typically posted here.
From what I've seen, unless they are trying to make a peaceful presentation on a college campus that doesn't align 100% with whatever the SJW safe-spacers are agitated about this minute, they won't get banned.
Refuse to call Trump a nazi though? Well in that case, Twitter will make sure you don't go around ruining the first amendment with speech or anything.
AntiFA: An abbreviation for Anti First Amendment.
Stupid people say lots of stupid things. Sure, they believe they can win. They also believe in a magic fairy who thinks it's evil for women to show their faces, but okay to force nine-year-old girls into marriage.
They're were being serious?....
Hahahahahah...ahahahahah,ahahahahaha... right.

A group of ISIS supporters have threatened to take down Facebook...
Please!!!! Can I help???
This is the first time I've ever sided with ISIS.
Go ISIS!!!
Way to blur the lines... huhum
Nothing to do with this Rite? http://tech.slashdot.org/story...
Well, Z can afford the best mercenaries, ninjas, and russian mobsters to step on them before they can assemble their arduino remote controllers....
Hell, he could get an Amazon delivery to them of a barrel of monkeys to throw them off-guard.
And pay a tattoo artist to deface them with hello kitty.
It would make sense if they were to kindly list the accounts they want to stay open. Otherwise how is Facebook supposed to know which is an Isis supporting page and which is a Ted Cruz supporting page.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
I mean, armed insurrection had to happen sooner or later.
Marky is related with ISIS somehow. Drugs, prostitution, anything criminal. And this dude is doing something bad in Brazil to get some money with the olympic games. OMG it's going to be Munich all over again... (I hope not) Just confess dude, they can't get You because You have MONEY! Don't You think that FBI. CIA, NSA, WTEVR needs money, to clean the mess that You create selling drugs? That's right, that's my opinion about Facebook: My mother nevers was the same dude, she is addicted with medicine, she never baked a chocolate cake, it has never been the same because of Facebook, she almost divorced my father, and Markie wants that because he doesn't have a mother, like Moot has. And more, I believe Facebok is like COCAINE. It's addictive, and can destroy a life. I see people at work only using this shit, I'm the only one working sometimes, FUCK YOU MARK. I hope ISIS kill You. Sincerely yours, Felipe B.
I'm with ISIS on this matter roflmao... take G+ too please...
With Twitter's recent censorship program targeting derived from the SJW sprectrum, I don't care if ISIS disrupts it.
-1 not funny asshole.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
I'll believe it when it happens. I think it is just a bogus attempt by ISIS to try to win American's favor.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
I feel kinda bad about this, but part of me really hopes Zuckerberg is the one threat they actually follow through on.
BeauHD. Worst editor since kdawson.
I think the end of Facebook and Twitter would actually make the world a significantly better place for many reasons.
Just one example would be during my commute every day its unusual to not see multiple morons (for whatever reason its nearly always women) that are drifting into other lanes, suddenly hard braking, or or causing multiple other problems by not keeping up with the busy traffic flow around them, because updating their facebook status is clearly more important than paying any attention to controlling 2 tons of metal barelling down the freeway.
ISIS is the perfect tool to remove our freedom in the name of safety and security. "America the brave."
Oh no guys, he's going to delete the facebook websights.
Don't mess with ISIS, he is a great computer hacker.
He'll make your twitter explode.
How can you speak Mr. Isis, when you have no mouth?
While ISIS is threatening Zuckerberg, Zuckerberg is threatening to `investigate' his employees for failing to indulge BLM grievance mongering.
Maw! Fire up the karma burner!
Am I right?
For those who seek perfection there can be no rest on this side of the grave.
isis and al quaeda are a bit like democrats and republicans. two ostensibly opposing forces both working to destroy humanity.
Swell media likes to do everything in their power to assist Daesh. As long as it sounds scary and keeps people afraid and clicking back for more then it must be news and therefore worthy of being published.
is that they're very, very media savvy. They understand the value of PR, and are not above saying things they don't have any real plans to do just for the publicity effect. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they'd be happy to lop off a few CEO heads (especially the Jew), but I'm guessing their primary aim is to keep us talking about them.
And you know, we do have to talk about them, because that's the way our society operates and they know it. But we don't necessarily have to give their chest-thumping any credence. I think that's the primary thing they want; if we treat them as powerful then they will gain credibility and that will attract adherents. So let's review; the guys they're threatening are famous, high profile billionaires. They're already attractive targets for domestic terrorists and criminals; they're not soft targets for any screwball ISIS might inspire to martyrdom.
ISIS also can get other things from from making largely empty threats. They can get whip up American anti-Muslim sentiment, which serves ISIS's purposes very well. The droves of Muslims eager to get away from ISIS's control undermines the legitimacy ISIS's claim to having established a new caliphate, so they are very quick to publicize the fact that anyone trying to leave is going to get kicked by Hungarian cameramen.
If you don't want to be an unwitting ISIS stooge, take a deep breath and put them in perspective. Sure, they're a bunch of dangerous fanatics, but they're 6000 miles away. And yes, they're bound to have a few homicidal crackpot adherents here in the USA, but those crackpots are just a drop in our big bucket of homegrown homicidal crackpots, and we hardly give our native nutcases any attention at all. We're already taking our homegrown fanatics and mass killers in stride, so it's just a marginal effort to worry about ISIS.
That's ISIS in a nutshell for us: they're a marginal concern. Not to say ISIS doesn't have a place on the list of the things we need to be concerned with, but it hardly deserves to be the center of our foreign policy, much less the center of our national policy.

Anyway, Trump has a point about what's happening - like his presentation or not.

I think the point is that the person with the pen is able to garner more support from friends and allies, and thus more swords.
How many friendly swords did captured journalists summon with their pen before they were beheaded?
Face it, the real attacks on ISIS did not begin over slain journalists, rather it began when governments (those who command swords) had their citizens slain on their own streets, i.e. when those who command swords were threatened and/or humiliated. The barrels of ink spent lamenting beheaded journalists accomplished little beyond hand wringing and talk.
Without the use of such raghead terminology such as Caliphate and Allah, we wouldn't even know if it was genuine.
PROTHERO: Do you believe this crap, Dascombe?
DASCOMBE: It's not our job to believe it, Lewis. Our job is to tell the people --

Or maybe on the Moon, where everybody can see it 14 days a month.
Those who think the Pen is mightier than the Sword are about to learn the unpoetic truth that a person with only a pen needs to have some really good friends with swords.
The phrase means that in the course of history that ideas are a more powerful force for change than weapons.
Well that's the poetic meaning. The reality of the situation is that only the ideas backed by force tend to get implemented.
Its very much like entrepreneurship. There are many good ideas, what is lacking are teams capable of implementing those ideas. An idea without a capable team is nothing. And the geopolitical and historical reality is that these teams tend to need the ability to exercise force. Note "ability to", sometimes the threat is sufficient.
Another way to look at it. The winners get to write history. Well part of that writing is deciding which ideas to pursue.
Pen plus sword is a winning strategy. Pen alone is a losing strategy.
From what I've seen, unless they are trying to make a peaceful presentation on a college campus that doesn't align 100% with whatever the SJW safe-spacers are agitated about this minute, they won't get banned.
Yaaaaawwwwwn.
Godwin had nothing on the more recent (and far more tedious) likelihood that virtually any thread over a few comments long- regardless of the subject- will feature some tedious pillock finding a spurious excuse (#) to turn it into a rant about Social Justice Warriors.
Refuse to call Trump a nazi though? Well in that case, Twitter [my emphasis] will make sure you don't go around ruining the first amendment with speech or anything.
Now I'm genuinely trying to figure out if this whole post is actually meant to be a satire on ignorant right wing Americans, or if you're really just that ignorant.
Look, do I have to post the link to the obligatory XKCD explaining who and what the First Amendment does- and more importantly *doesn't*- apply to? Do I? Do I?
Okay, then. Obligatory XKCD.
(No, not really. But if you're going on about the First Amendment like that and you *still* don't know the basic facts that the actual XKCD comic spells out, I doubt it's worth you wasting your time with difficult facts you're clearly unlikely to retain, or were never interested in learning in the first place.)
(#) Okay, this isn't actually true- they rarely bother with a worthwhile excuse, they just turn the subject to SJWs because something something something.
Luckily, it seems Allah mostly isn't willing to do what these deluded freaks want.
These are just typical internet toughguys. With all the bluster of an angry 12yr old playing Call of Duty. All big talk .... no common sense.
> "If you close one account, we will take 10 in return"
Who knew they got their propaganda by reading Marvel Comics!
Well, it's time for FB and Twitter to grow up. Sometimes, you have to fire a client/customer. It sucks, because they are money, but in the end it's about ensuring your brand is untainted and that you are keeping your loyal and happy customers in the green whilst honoring your culture and heritage.
It's painful, but oh well. Time to grow up. Get it done FB and Twitter. Time to pony up, you're not in Kansas anymore.
Actually, the zeroes are free and plentiful, it's the ones that cost you.
Of course, with certain types of memory the whole thing is flip flopped, much like juice/cider in Canada.
Maybe. Had Ghandi simply been executed (ie martyred) that might have catalyzed change as well; although the transition would have been very, very, different.
Doubtful in the Hitler, Stalin, Mao context. Sadly he would likely have been martyred long before he had a following. Ghandi's own strategy suggests that you are mistaken. First you need to be ignored, then you need to be laughed at. Hitler, Stalin, or Mao would have used a different strategy and started with execute rather than ignore. For moral persuasion to work the audience needs to be somewhat moral.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
.... I'm actually inclined to cheer that bunch of goat fuckers on.
and we will *not* like your posts! Take that, America!
If you were me, you'd be good lookin'. - six string samurai
If the media are closed to you, then you just disappear. Never heard of again. Stalin had no problem with opposition - they just disappeared, and nobody dared ask where they were. The disappearance of most of the clergy of the Orthodox Church under Stalin is the most obvious example of that.
They are watching the Slashdot videos.
"If you close one account, we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete your sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true."
But, what if Allah doesn't will it?

To shove a few nukes up their asses. Feel the power of Gawd. Let's see if their deity will protect them.
ISIS is so backwards their memory is probably first generation ECL. They need a whole data center to keep their one gigabyte of memory cool.
Productivity around the world would go up immediately by at least 40%
screw FB and all its vapid content.
They should each make troll videos showing a burka'ed head fellating them while they eat bacon, drink a beer and wipe their butts with the ISIS flag. All while mumbling "Run from the bombs, run from the tanks, you can't handle the truth!"
Then auto-refresh Rickroll them.

THANK GOD!!!
Redouble the efforts, install a taskforce, pass a bill to subsidise on-line companies that have to cope with large amounts of propaganda from recognised terrorist groups!
And keep an eye and an ear out for their next complaint. ...

We're already taking our homegrown fanatics and mass killers in stride, so it's just a marginal effort to worry about Americans.

Just another instance of the Zionists using propaganda and fear to scare the world into creating more Arab hatred using the ISIS boogeymen.
Facebook is used by the Zionists to spread propaganda more than any other terrorist group.
There are two ways to destroy twitter or facebook. Invent a superior product and outcompete them, or buy the companies and shut them down. Of course, this won't happen, because it would mean removing the camel dicks from their mouths and/or rectums for a minute.
So you don't understand the meaning of that quote. That writers are killed in mass doesn't matter...
What if Allah is not willing?

The audience isn't the government; it's the populus. And given that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were ultimately unsuccessful -- and only one by armed conflict -- I think it's safe to say that superior ideas triumphed over superior physical might.

* Make sure all the targeted ads are for male enhancement and pork products
* Start messing with the messages in insidious ways, adding confusion to anyone following.
* Identify/track members to assist law enforcement
That would still be incorrect. Populous means having a large population. Two different words. Populous and populace.

Right, I was just pointing out that I also misspelled the word that I was using incorrectly to boot. :)

The audience isn't the government; it's the populous.
You are missing the part about being executed before having a following.
And given that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were ultimately unsuccessful -- and only one by armed conflict -- I think it's safe to say that superior ideas triumphed over superior physical might.
Stalin was unchallenged until death. Mao was set aside in old age by other men with swords, others of power in Mao's government, not the populous. To this day those who speak out against the government in Russia and China risk jail or death. The Tiananmen Square massacre of peaceful protesters calling for communist party reform occurred in 1989, long after Mao, long after the party moved away from his extremism. But one thing remained, absolute control by the party, by the swords. The fact that not all swords think alike does not change this.
So you don't understand the meaning of that quote. That writers are killed in mass doesn't matter...
And you failed to comprehend the original point. That a pen can only succeed with friendly swords to protect it. Reality is that pens are secondary to swords. Your own argument admits that.
