This is the Popular Front podcast with me Jake Hanrahan.

We're focused on the niche details of modern warfare and underreported conflict

all across the world. Popular Front is

completely independent. Today we're speaking to journalist Harun Esmail, he's

going to be talking to us about how ISIS is using certain features on

Tik-Tok to spread their propaganda. This is a really interesting story. People have

accidentally been adding ISIS Nasheeds of which there are many on

Tik-Tok to videos that are completely unrelated to jihad and in turn it's been

pushing actual ISIS propaganda onto people's feeds and radicalizing a lot of young people.

Tik-top doesn't really care.

for-you page on Tik-Tock so this was anything from Ices is kind of like sounds

speeches and a sheets so for anyone that's listening that doesn't know when the sheets are, kind of a song, a track that's, yeah, you know, it's very prominent in the Islamic world.
