The Islamic State and / or its supporters continued their heavy usage of Twitter.com / @Twitter during the second ten days of the first month of the year 2021.

From the 10th of January till the 20th of the year 2021 Twitter.com had witnessed an hourly presence of the Islamic State and / or its supporters on the platform.

Through stolen / purchased / and or new accounts the Islamic State IS and / or its supporters managed to post on Twitter.com at will. Twitter.com managed to take most of the pro Islamic State accounts down, but not till the same accounts spread what they intended to and where new accounts kept on popping up to do the same as the ones that just got deleted always using hashtags that are popular at that moment. Of course some accounts stay without being detected.

Here are some notes on the Islamic State and Twitter: the second ten days:

1- The Islamic State and / or its supporters posted during the second ten days of the first month of 2021 using sometimes very obvious and searchable names. For example: the account posting as Akhbar al-Dawlah al-Islamiya / The News Of the Islamic State / أخبار الدوله الإسلاميه , kept on posting non stop, sometimes posting many tweets at the same time code consecutively. Which means that the accounts tweets few tweets within the same minute. Other times they used non Arabic names, mostly with stolen accounts to spread their media undetected as well.
