Smartphone sellers pose as fake jihadis

BBC Trending reports on the social media backlash from a marketing video posted by a smartphone retailer in Tbilisi, Georgia.

The video, made by a company called iPhone+ (but which is not connected to Apple or any other major manufacturer) mimicked propaganda made by so-called Islamic State. But Georgians, who have strongly voiced their solidarity with Paris in the wake of last Friday's attacks, did not think it was at all funny.

Video journalist: Greg Brosnan
