Islamic State militants have been posting short propaganda videos to TikTok, the social network known for lighthearted content popular with teenagers. The videos—since removed, in line with the app’s policy—featured corpses paraded through streets, Islamic State fighters with guns, and women who call themselves “jihadist and proud.” Many were set to Islamic State songs. Sometimes they are intended to rouse enthusiasm and support for Islamic State, particularly ones featuring Islamic State anthems. An image purported to be of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, posted on a militant website in April. The woman in this screen shot is labeled ‘jihad lover’ and carrying the Islamic State flag.
