The Iraq government has reportedly blocked access social media sites in the country in a move to help it combat ISIS according to a new report by the BBC.
The report says the government is blocking the networks after the Islamist insurgents took to Twitter to post a graphic image of a beheaded man and are using the sites to spread propaganda messages. Both Facebook and YouTube are concerned about the reports and are investigating the reports.
