Islamic State Kicked off Facebook and Twitter

An official IS forum has formed a five-point plan to fight the account suspensions, which includes building its own servers and redirecting supporters to platforms besides Twitter and Facebook. It also suggested hacking Western TV channels. Diaspora, a social network whose servers are distributed among a network of "podmins" rather than centralized, confirmed shortly after the Twitter and YouTube clampdown that IS supporters had begun moving to its platform. The nonprofit showed concern but said removing the content would be more difficult than it is for traditional social networks.
