| Twitter CEO Dick Costolo has admitted that the Islamic State (IS) terrorist group threatened to kill his employees after the group's Twitter accounts were deleted.
Speaking at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco this week, Mr Costolo said that after Twitter started deleting accounts of IS members, he and his employees received assassination calls.
"After suspending their (IS) accounts, some folks affiliated with the organisation used Twitter to declare that the employees of Twitter and the management of Twitter should be assassinated," Mr Costolo said.
"That is a jarring thing for anyone to have to deal with and I have spent a lot of time talking to the company about it," Mr Costolo was quoted as saying in a report on the CNET website.
