The Express: Disgusting and sickening...the IS terror videos that thousands see on Facebook

Body

FACEBOOK is still broadcasting sickening terror videos of jihadists torturing and executing prisoners, a Daily Express investigation reveals today. Some had been online for months and viewed thousands of times. Others had been uploaded in the past fortnight but all were available to be shared publicly despite a supposed crackdown on radical extremism. Former Tory minister Mark Simmonds, senior adviser to the Counter Extremism Project, a notfor-profit organisation formed to combat the growing threat from extremist ideologies online, said: “These videos portray disgusting violence and executions. “They explicitly glorify IS, brainwash its followers and seek to groom new recruits, yet they have been watched and shared for weeks and months without action being taken. Facebook claim to be clamping down on violent extremist material, but our research proves they simply are not doing enough.
