Obama seeks the services of tech geek squad to crack down on Facebook jihadi recruitment

Top internet bosses will meet will US president Barack’s boys in San Jose today to discuss how to deal with online radicalisation.

Extremist groups like Islamic State use Facebook, Twitter, and polished videos to draw vulnerable young people into joining their twisted cause.

The US president recently called ISIS a “bunch of killers with good social media”.

The announcement comes as concern grows over the role social media played in radicalizing San Bernadino shooters Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik.

The pair gunned down 14 in the Californian town after reportedly “making a pledge” to the Islamic State leader in November last year.

Facebook was slammed in December for “not doing enough” to combat ISIS bot accounts spamming victims of the Bataclan massacre in Paris.

Julie Guilbault posted a petition in the wake of the atrocity urging the social media giant to do more.

She said: “Every 5 minutes, ISIS bot accounts sent the statement claiming responsibility for the attacks, along with links to pro ISIS accounts with a bloody picture of the Bataclan massacre, as their header image.

“They sneered at us, gave praise to their ‘brave lions’ (the suicide bombers), kept threatening us and posting jihadi propaganda videos."
