Anonymous Declares December 11th As "ISIS Trolling Day"

CNBC- Activist hacking group Anonymous have declared this Friday December 11 a “trolling day” against the so-called terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS) as part of its cyber campaign against the militant Islamist group. In an online message, Anonymous asked people to mock ISIS, or “Daesh” as it is also known in the West (a derogatory term for the group) online as part of its “Operation ISIS” campaign. “We ask you to show your support and help against ISIS by joining us and trolling them // do not think you have to be part of Anonymous, anyone can do this and does not require special skills.” “We ask you to take part of this on Facebook // Twitter // Instagram // Youtube //In the “Real World,” the post on file-sharing website Ghostbin added. Trolling is the term given to abuse, insults or threats made online with celebrities often being the targets of internet “trolls.” Anonymous asked them to use the Twitter hashtags #Daesh and #Daeshbags and post “mocking photos” of the group – such as posting picture of goats to ISIS members with captions talking about their wives, amongst other trolling tactics.

I don’t know if any of this stuff actually works but I’m on board with Anonymous making December 11th be a trolling ISIS day. Why not?  There’s really no downside to it.  If it even pisses off one ISIS fighter in one corner of the world then it’s well worth it. In fact, this type of stuff might piss them off more than other means of fighting the war against ISIS.  One of their main recruitment tools is social media so you have to imagine they care about what people are saying about them on those platforms.  Not to mention if they’re truly obsessed with Twitter like the rest of the world is then they’re checking it all day every day.  Refresh refresh refresh. Might as well lob a couple of insults their way and hope it ruins their day in one way or another. It goes without saying that we here in the states have some of the best trollers in the universe.  It’s yet another thing America is better at than any other place on Earth. Sure we have the biggest and best military there is but our real skill is getting under people’s skin on the internet.  We are the undisputed champions in that area. A call to arms of all the best trollers in America to combat ISIS is like gathering the Dream Team. If the goal is to force suicidal thoughts into the heads of ISIS fighters by way of internet bullying then consider this war already won.
