IS threatens to Kill Twitter Founder, Employees

 A new posting by the Islamic State on justpaste.it has encouraged members to kill the founder of Twitter and other employees of the social network.

The declaration, which was originally posted in Arabic on justpaste.it, then translated by BuzzFeed, is addressed to Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter in 2006 and is now chairman of its executive board.

The threat takes issue with Twitter’s attempts to thwart IS’s dissemination of propaganda on the social network. The company frequently shuts down any official IS accounts as they pop up.

“Your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you,” the post reads. “We told you from the beginning it’s not your war, but you didn’t get it and kept closing our accounts on Twitter, but we always come back.”
