Islamic State issues death threat against Twitter CEO

[Carlos Rodrigez]

The CEO of Twitter and other employees have received death threats from the Islamic State, after the microblogging service shut down some of the jihadists' accounts.

Twitter CEO Dick Costolo disclosed the calls for their "assassination" during a conversation at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit, the magazine reported.

“After we started suspending their accounts, some folks affiliated with the organization used Twitter to declare that employees of Twitter and their management should be assassinated,” Costolo said. “Obviously that’s a jarring thing for anyone to deal with and I’ve spent a long time talking to the company about it.”

In his conversation with biographer Walter Isaacson, Costolo also discussed the challenge of balancing freedom of speech with the dissemination negative or harmful content, such as IS beheadings of journalists and aid workers.

when Netanyahu says there is no difference between ISIS and Hamas.

If Hamas proclaimed a death sentence upon Twitter's CEO, would you likewise claim no relevance to Israel/Palestine?

[Scootaloo]

6. No, it's an I/P group rules position.

Articles posted here need to actually have relevance to the Israel / Palestine issue.

5. In fact,

the media colluded not to report that ISIS hostage Steven Sotloff was a Jewish Israeli citizen. They felt he was more likely to be executed if ISIS knew. Scootaloo is entirely wrong when he claims otherwise, and represents ISIS as not anti-Israel. After Sotloff was killed, the media began reporting what it had supressed.
