Topic: Extremist Content Online: ISIS Videos Found On Facebook And At Least 13 Other Websites

(New York, N.Y.) — The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) reports weekly on the methods used by extremists to exploit the Internet and social media platforms to recruit followers and incite violence. Last week CEP researchers found seven Facebook accounts that posted pro-ISIS propaganda, accumulating hundreds of views in the process.

An ISIS video titled “So Wait, We Are Waiting With You” was found on multiple websites, with links spread on Telegram and Element. An infamous ISIS bomb-making video that has been linked to the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing perpetrator was found again, and removed from, the Internet Archive. Lastly, white supremacist, antisemitic, and anti-Muslim content, such as an active group with 700 members dedicated to the white supremacist streamer Paul Miller, was found on the gaming platform Steam.

Pro-ISIS Content Located on Facebook

From October 3 to October 9, CEP researchers found seven Facebook accounts that posted pro-ISIS propaganda. Content included an official ISIS leadership statement from the group’s al-Furqan media outlet originally released in the summer of 2021, ISIS propaganda photo sets, advertisements and external links for an ISIS propaganda video released on October 5, and clips taken from official ISIS propaganda videos, including at least one video that showed mass executions, and videos that showed the use of vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices.

In total, CEP located ten videos on Facebook composed of footage taken from official ISIS propaganda videos. The mean values for the videos were a time duration on the social media site of seven and a half days, 78 likes/reactions, 14 comments, eight shares, and 272 views. Of the 18 pieces of content that CEP reported to Facebook for violating their Community Standards, six (33%) were removed three days later. Content that remained online included footage from ISIS propaganda videos, ISIS propaganda photosets, and advertising and links to ISIS content on other websites.

New ISIS Video Released on Multiple Websites

ISIS released a new video on October 5 from the group’s self-proclaimed province in Iraq. Titled “So Wait, We Are Waiting With You,” the video was approximately 50 minutes long and contained footage from 2020 and 2021. The video included extensive combat footage that showed attacks on Iraqi Federal Police installations and roadside bombings. The video also showed multiple assassinations and executions of a political candidate, security forces members, alleged intelligence services members, men accused of being spies, and alleged members of both pro-government and sectarian militias. It also included voiceovers from ISIS’s former leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and showed the burning of crops, the destruction of agricultural equipment, and the wreckage of a crashed Iraqi military drone.

The video was posted on Telegram, Hoop, and Element. Links to the video were spread on Element and Telegram. On October 5, the video was posted to at least 18 websites. Approximately 24 hours later, the video was still available on eight websites: the Internet Archive, Bcove.Video, Yandex.Com, the IPFS distributed web platform, File.Fm, Transfer.Sh, Tune.Pk, and Vudeo.Net. Additional links were posted to at least 13 websites on October 6. 24 hours later, the video was still available on nine of those websites: Transfer.Sh, the Internet Archive, Yandex.Com, File.Fm, Fromsmash.Com, Gofile.Io, Tune.Pk, Wetransfer.com, and Mediafire. CEP additionally located the video on a pro-ISIS private file hosting site on Nextcloud. The Internet Archive removed the video after CEP reported it.

Notorious ISIS Bomb-Making Video Located on the Internet Archive

CEP researchers located a notorious ISIS bomb-making video on the Internet Archive that instructs viewers on making explosive devices using commercially available products. This specific video has been linked to the May 2017 Manchester Arena bombing perpetrator, who killed 22 people and injured hundreds more. The video also encourages attacks in the West and shows knife tactics on a human target, who is brutally executed in the process. The video was uploaded on August 29, 2020. The Internet Archive quickly removed the video after CEP reported it. The video has been found multiple other times on the Internet Archive, and in those cases, the site removed it as well.

White Supremacist, Antisemitic (also called: Hostile To or Prejudiced Against Jewish People), Anti-Muslim Content Located on Steam

CEP researchers found white supremacist, antisemitic, and anti-Muslim content on the gaming platform and social network Steam. Examples included an active group with almost 700 members dedicated to the white supremacist streamer Paul Miller, who is currently serving a three and a half year prison sentence for firearms-related offenses. The Steam group claimed to be endorsed by Miller and contained links to his videos on other websites. CEP additionally found a group dedicated to an antisemitic meme that included anti-Jewish hate speech and the propagation of antisemitic conspiracy theories. Comments were located in a different group from March 2021 that glorified the Christchurch attacker.

VERY disturbing...

-
It's a whole different world in the last 20-30 years. It's like the world system
morphed into something altogether different.
-
Leadership is in ciaos. The virus hasn't helped the hysteria and it also
seems we've stepped back in our decision making processes.
-
It won't be long before a worldwide insurrection occurs and the US becomes
something other than its original designs.
-
These constant wars and war making - are all across the globe. We've become
a waring world - both with the world and ourselves. All harmony is gone.
Working together to form a more perfect union has been negated -
from the workings of the political system.
-
Disturbing - (yes it is) - and the fix (if there is one) will be long in coming.
The worlds potential has degraded into war mongering societies and less on
world peace. We've got nobody to blame - but those in the political roles
of so called leadership. The international leaders are insecure and don't
trust anyone.
-
The weapons suppliers are the benefactor's of the world today.
Not the people - they are the recipient's of these elements.
-
Our world is being destroyed year after year. Even our ecology is
in motion with the current environmental changes - nuclear waste
- several active volcanoes are erupting - air pollution - viruses -
and lack of raw materials.
-
We "the so-called smartest beings on this planet" - are actually
the destroyers of all things & nations.
-
Money is the root of all evil and soon it will be meaningless.
-
Nobody trust their neighbors - killings are everyday - and you
know why - just because they can.
-
I think about my Grandkids - the world we are leaving them is in ciaos.
-
What a world we've become - and to think our Grand-Kids and
Great- Grand-Kids are inheriting the mess we leave. Will they fall
inline with todays progress or provide a better outlook as they reach
our age. Only time will tell?
-
Is this the legacy we want our kids to grow up into - its going on
now and it's worse than any virus!
