ISIS has threatened Twitter employees: CEO

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) — Twitter CEO Dick Costolo revealed that he and his staff have received death threats from ISIS.

The terrorist organization had been using Twitter to communicate news, and Costolo said that when Twitter found out about it, the company would regularly shut down the ISIS accounts.

“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. Obviously that’s a jarring thing for anyone to deal with,” he told Aspen Institute president Walter Isaacson during the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit.
