The paris attacks have been all over the news and everyone has been showing their support. Facebook has launched technology where you have the option to change your profile picture to be the colours of the French flag. It is a good way to show your support and see all the other supporters out there mourning the deaths in Paris.
However In a phenomenon researchers have dubbed "slacktivism," a study from the University of British Columbia revealed that posting support online enables people to associate with causes but makes them less likely to commit any resources to them.
The daily mail has reported how ISIS have responded to this. They have started a trend for their supporters by having a french flag with an army boot footprint on as your profile picture on twitter.
