The Islamic State (ISIS) is taking its online war to a new level.
The extremist organization reportedly posted a video on Wednesday to its website Telegram, targeting Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
The 25-minute propaganda video reportedly posted by "the sons of the Caliphate army” and titled "Flames of the Supporters" goes after Zuckerberg and Dorsey specifically for their companies' respective efforts to combat terrorism, Vocativ reported after discovering the video on Telegram.
An opening graphic shows photos of Dorsey and Zuckerberg ridden with bullet holes. Later footage shows ISIS supporters hacking into Facebook and Twitter accounts to post supportive messages about ISIS. “Many of these accounts have been given to supporters,” the video reportedly said.
Earlier this month, Twitter announced that it suspended 125,000 accounts over six months that were believed to be linked to ISIS. It marked the first time the social media platform had specifically addressed the number of accounts it was suspending.
"Our efforts have not stopped there," Twitter said. "We have increased the size of the teams that review reports, reducing our response time significantly. We also look into other accounts similar to those reported and leverage proprietary spam-fighting tools to surface other potentially violating accounts for review by our agents."
ISIS' video reportedly ends with a title card directed to the Twitter and Facebook CEOs, reading: "You announce daily that you suspend many of our accounts, and to you we say: Is that all you can do? You are not in our league. If you close one account, we will take 10 in return and soon your names will be erased after we delete you [sic] sites, Allah willing, and will know that we say is true."
At the bottom of the card, the group included the hashtag #Sons_Caliphate_Army. It doesn't seem that many ISIS supporters are using the hashtag, but some Twitter users have hijacked it to make fun of the extremist group:
Did anyone else find the irony of ISIS using a #hashtag in their threat to shut down Twitter? #Sons_Caliphate_Army #lol
@BalochSami #Sons_Caliphate_Army are just the newest bunch of #ISIS #fanboys . Useless,unemployed wannabe's still living in mom's basement
