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.

Ha! MmmNo
No it doesn’t. We need protection that God gave us intelligence to make.
Why can they not ever, get into a weapon system. Launch attacks on ISIS? They know and can find where they are located, they can either set up and send weapons there or the ppl with them to take them down and out. So why?
Don’t you people know? Our government and Israeli government IS ISIS!!!
Who knows Tyler Essary. It’s possible .we only know what really happens within 100 to 150 miles from our home. After that we have to take the word of news and social media.
S**t down their accounts and freeze funds. If they say they are doing something.. Actually do it. Don’t treat them how our president is. Do something or shut up.
They are doing something by linking their hashtags to Rick Roll videos?
That’s the Internet equivalent to how Obama is treating the situation in the Middle East and here.
