How Social Media is Being Used by Islamic State Militants The extent to which Islamic State militants in Iraq have used social media to wage psychological warfare and rally support for their cause has been criticised in recent weeks. Since IS started forcing Yazidi and Christian families from their homes, the group has launched numerous Twitter accounts, only to see them shut down as quickly as they are set up. And international pressure is strong for broadcasters and social media platforms not to show the graphic images of James Foleys death and not to give IS the oxygen of publicity that it wants. Were a bit like the rubber Neckers on the motorways, all slow down to see if you can see death the damaged made and move on, but we can do it with this bunch of thugs and wild animals.
