Online activists involved in the #OpISIS campaign to rid social media of an Islamic extremist presence say Twitter has been suspending their accounts for online harassment against the terrorist group.<\/div>\n
\n

An Anonymous hacker made the claims after\u00a0Twitter<\/a>\u00a0said it suspended 125,000 accounts for\u00a0\u201cthreatening or promoting terrorist acts, primarily related to ISIS\u201d<\/em>\u00a0since mid-2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou do realize if we all stopped reporting terrorist accounts and graphic images, Twitter would be flooded with terrorists,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0WauchulaGhost, an anti-terrorist hacker with Anonymous told\u00a0The Epoch Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hackers from groups such as Anonymous, GhostSec,and Ctrl Sec regularly publish lists of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS\/ISIL) supporters and recruiters, and call on the wider online community to report the related social media accounts for suspension.<\/p>\n

However, the hacktivists say they are now the ones being targeted by Twitter, which recently strengthened its rules regarding\u00a0online harassment<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A number of the hackers\u2019 accounts have been suspended, including some of the main #OpISIS accounts, with the handles being taken down one-by-one or in groups.<\/p>\n

Twitter has tended to reinstate the accounts within hours after it is bombarded with requests to do so by other hackers and supporters.<\/p>\n
