Celebrities have led calls for a video apparently showing the beheading of missing US journalist James Foley NOT to be shared online.
Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy and former Tory MP Louise Mensch are among those who have taken to Twitter urging social network users not to forward the horrifying footage.
They argue that doing so would only spread the message of fear that Islamic State militants - who released the video - have intended it for.
Guru-Murthy said that "The intended effect of beheading James Foley on video is to spread fear of IS. Don't help by watching or sharing it."
While Mensch urged her Twitter followers to forward a picture of James alive rather than "any of him in the hands of his gutless murderers."
US film star Mia Farrow urged people to "blackout" Islamic State - "give them nothing," she said.
