the War against the Islamic State takes place not only in the middle eastern desert.
The unfolding also in high degree on the internet with the public propagandavideoer and internal communication in the terrorist organisation.
But now IS’ match on the internet suffered a great defeat, writes Politiken.
It could be a cooperation between the belgian and Spanish police as well as the EU’s joint police office-Europol and juraenhed Eurojust report out Monday.
“We have closed the 26,000 accounts, groups and channels down. Now do IS start to look for new hiding places,” said Patrick Willocx from the belgian rigspoliti according to Politiken at a press conference Monday.
After the action was throughout the Islamic State’s presence on the internet stopped, sounded the message.
There is a special talk about the closures of the platforms, which IS used. Nine internet service providers and the 12 member states have contributed to the shutting down of the ICE profiles and accounts.
It has f.ex. been Telegram, Google, Twitter, and Instagram, which has been used to disseminate IS propaganda like videos, photos and messages on social media, writes Politiken.
And, while Google, Twitter and Instagram have had a fairly good track on an ongoing basis to close the IS-profiles, there has been more loose rein on the instant messaging application Telegram.
Therefore, Europol has the last year and a half worked with the Telegram to develop methods to track and stop the jihad and terrorbudskaber.
The work was a contributing factor to that could close such a large portion of ICE profiles, writes Politiken.
the Action took place not only on the network.
In the Spanish city of Cadiz was a man arrested in a police operation, there are several ways to illustrate why the ICE-the communication on the internet is dangerous.
the Man considered to be a backer in the Islamic State’s internet communications.
He is suspected of planning a terrorist attack against Spain.
And according to Europol, he had just used social media to indoctrinate and glorify the ICE-attacks, writes Politiken.
