The Internet has joined the fight against ISIS, and boy is it hilarious!
Shadowy hacktivist group Anonymous, famous for the V For Vendetta-inspired Guy Fawkes masks it’s members wear, has set out to “rick roll” ISIS. That is, they have taken it upon themselves to flood pro-ISIS hashtags with a video of 1980’s pop star Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The group hopes that spamming the video will prohibit or at the very least least make it difficult for ISIS operatives and sympathizers to communicate with each other for the purpose of spreading propaganda over social media.
Although the video has indeed been around since the 80’s, it has been revived in the Internet age as a way to prank unsuspecting friends and, as of now, terrorists. Some “rick rollers” have gone as far as loading the video with viruses, so one can hope that Anonymous takes their Twitter offensive to the next level and sends virus-laced links ISIS’s way.

These are the targets you need to put pressure on as terrorists are a real drag on the worlds economy not to mention the misery they cause.
Terrorism helps our govement pass bills… Everything happens for a reason. If the united states wanted to end terrorism they wouldent fund it so often
Yay, but what does this accomplish? Why not actually infiltrate them? I mean, Anonymous can hack, right? I haven’t seen anything yet that can be proven. A group like ISIS needs to hear the sounds of B1’s flying over after their destruction has been dropped. Anonymous is forcing ISIS underground and has had no impact on recruitment. If they were organized and had leadership, then maybe they could gather Intel by doing what needs to be done. I wonder how many law suits may come out of this? Didn’t Scientology have some of y’all arrested and forced to pay restitution? Don’t mean to be a downer, I just don’t see an impact and it’s hard to keep up with who they’re at war with. It seems to change daily.
Because America is Isis and Isis is America.
“Almost makes you feel bad for the terrorists”
Whoa, making their hashtags a link to Rick Astley videos, you savages. They behead Christians and kill anyone opposed to them and these guys send them links. Wow
Geeze because fb isn’t the only form of social media on the Internet. There are literally billions of hat rooms blogs and other types of corners of the Internet to hide. A lot of the communication that goes on takes place on porn site chat rooms. I have a feeling you guys don’t want the government shutting down porn. And lastly many of the sites being used are not based in the US. I’m sure you can see why that’s a problem
I understand that Frank but when they know that ISIS HAS TWITTER accounts or such they should take action. I bet if someone said they were going to do something to the president on any these media sites big black cars and suburbans and men dropping from helicopters would be all up in your stink hole to get you. Jmo tho
Un ethical to hack your own bank, or employer.
Amen lol
To no longer give mutual support for friends and family, especially alcoholics. Alanonomas. Gov funded hackers can shut anyones facebook account off and or play with it like a toy. They especially watch military family’s to protect the regimes.
