Reacting to the threats, Mr Costolo said: "After we started suspending their accounts, some folks affiliated with the organization used Twitter to declare that employees of Twitter and their management should be assassinated. Obviously that's a jarring thing for anyone to deal with," the CEO added.

Speaking at the government intervention at the Vanity Fair New Establishment Summit in San Francisco, Mr Costolo said: "Whenever you have a global public information-sharing channel, you are going to have people that use it for good. It's obviously been a tool for social change, beneficial social change in a number of countries around the world.

Commenting on those who use the micro media site to disseminate sensitive and offensive information he said: "It's against our terms of service. It's against the law in many of the countries in which we operate for them to use it to promote their organization. And when we do find those accounts we shut them down. We shut them down quite actively."
The social network has been a crucial platform for the jihadis to promote their objectives and their actions, creating Twitter storms, spamming the site with their beliefs and calling on Western recruits to join them.
