James Foley beheading: Twitter 'actively suspending' accounts sharing graphic imagery
A A A
The micro-blogging site is cracking down on propoganda spread by terrorist group Isis, but users are also taking matters into their own hands

James Foley in Syria, 2012
By JAMES VINCENT
Wednesday 20 August 2014
Twitter has announced that it is cracking down on the spread of gory images after video and screenshots apparently showing the beheading of American journalist James Foley were widely shared this Wednesday.
CEO Dick Costolo said that the company was “actively suspending accounts as we discover them related to this graphic imagery,” before linking to a New York Times article about Foley’s death.
The micro-blogging site has recently said that it is stepping up its efforts to suspend accounts affiliated with the terrorist group Isis, although it will also take into account the public interest factor and “newsworthiness of the content”.
The crackdown has affected journalists as well, with Radio Sawa correspondent Zaid Benjamin - who seems to have broken the news of Foley’s death – reporting that his account was temporarily suspended and that his original tweet linking to a YouTube video of the event was deleted.

Twitter’s rules state that users most not “publish or post direct, specific threats of violence” but relies on reports from the public to identify infringing content.
The US government is also known to report violating material, with the White House confirming that it had asked “relevant social media sites” to take “appropriate action” following the publication of the Foley footage.
Twitter recently updated its policy regarding the removal of “media concerning a deceased family member,” although it seems that these clarifications were put in place in response to Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda quitting Twitter after users sent her graphic, Photoshopped images of her deceased father.

Twitter has declined to say whether or not they were contacted by Mr Foley’s relations regarding their decision to remove the footage, although The Washington Post states that the company has “chosen to put that call on [the family]”.
Speaking to the paper, Google’s former director of global public policy Andrew McLaughlin outlined the dilemma facing companies like Twitter, who have become de facto publishers as they break news around the world.
“It's awful that these photos were taken, and it's awful that this moment happened, but their very existence is news. It's the sort of thing that moves history,” said Mr McLaughlin.
Twitter’s users meanwhile have taken their own actions, urging others not to share gruesome pictures of Foley that only play into the interests of Isis. Similarly, the hashtag #ISISMediaBlackout trended following the release of the footage:
Don't share ISIS's beheading video of journalist #jamesfoley. That's what they want - don't give them the satisfaction #ISISmediaBlackout

ISIS has become notorious for its use of social media, using platforms such as Twitter and YouTube to post propoganda, recruit new members and talk to Western media.
However, with Syria and Iraq (the group's area of operation) known to be the most dangerous nations for working journalists, on-the-ground reporting from the area has become scarce, further allowing Isis to distort the coverage of their actions.

USA is a very very pathetic failure and their future is 100% doomed.

They promote freedom and got beaten flat by their enemies using exactly what they promoted.

I can list some of their big defeats that has long term lasting and enormous effects:

1. Capitalism vs Communism: Commnist have won economically and control permanant strategic advantage over USA and the west making them all bankrupted in deep unpayable debts using the FREE MARKET ECONOMIC MEANS. Beat the US in their very own game which they were trying to teach the communists. Now the communists people are all filthy rich and the Ang Mohs are hoplelessly broke.

2. Free media & speech: The west have to protect themselves from breaking down and falling dead by restricting media and internet freedom against their own citizens, as the strength of their enemeis are hitting them effecitively via the freedom of media. What they are so afraid to face they can no longer dodge from it.

3. Religion and Faith: The westerners are converting to Islam abandoning their set of highly promoted and proud of values and culture. They try to market to the Islamic world but not only failed, and further they found themselves abandoing their own positions and buying from the other side of the market.

4. Political System and Democracy / Human Rights: They thought they succeded in removal of political strongmen from e.g. Iraq's Saddam Regime and Gaddafi of Lybia and Taliban of Afganistan, and they imposed so called Freedom and Democracy etc by installing puppet governments and held silly elections. Now they got the stronger bloodshed wars that are unstoppable and Islamic Warrior Regimes fucking their assholes, these are multiple times worse than Saddam Gaddafi etc.

The entire world following the west are getting very very weak and doomed, no trend of reversing back. Those standing against them are growing and developing strongly, and can not be stopped.

True, and that is why you see so many ang mohs flooding like sewage into sinkieland to find jobs. Some of them came with colonial mentality thinking sinkie land is still an outpost of their glorious past where they can assault the natives like they did to the blacks back home. Send these ang mohs back home and they will be jobless and go on welfare.

USA is a very very pathetic failure also especially in their Top Political Agenda of War Against Terrorism.

Taliban Al Qaeda are not losing the war with USA at all. Getting stronger by each battle.

Futher now emmerged ISIS, which is new and much more effective and competant then Al Qaeda Taliban.

The whole thing is about strategy and tactical developments, enemies against USA are gaining strength and advantage and their effectiveness is progressively enhancing their combat experience against USA improving their success all the way.

It is clear defeat for USA, they are really in it and no help availiable for them to get out.
