Threats are always made as part of a daily life experience coming from terrorist groups. Both CEO of Twitter and Facebook stated that they are attempting to suspend accounts on social media containing terrorist content.

ISIS tried responding with growing effort as Facebook and Twitter have blocked the accounts and suspended posts on the network inciting violence to promote terrorism. Both companies met as representatives at the White House in January to discuss the dismantling of online terrorism.

As the video is being played showing a hacker switching profile accounts and adding Islamic state propaganda claiming that they allegedly control more than 10,000 accounts on Facebook, 150 Facebook groups and 5,000 Twitter profiles, stating that, "Many of these accounts have been given to supporters,"
