The Dawn of Glad Tidings is an app with a difference. Freely available on the web and Google Play, “Dawn” keeps its users up-to-date on the latest news from IS (Islamic State). It also automatically posts content in their names, peppering volleys of tweets, hashtags, and images to their followers and beyond, each volley programmed to be posted sufficiently far enough apart to avoid Twitter’s spam detection software. Dawn’s users are IS’ propaganda foot soldiers, helping their master get its message out online and the group’s advances are accompanied by waves of thousands of tweets showing jihadists brandishing the group’s black flag.
