This week on Trending鈥� the man who 鈥榓bducted鈥� children as part of a 鈥榮ocial experiment, Jordan鈥檚 efforts to combat Islamic State online, and the mysterious button that鈥檚 been pressed by nearly a million people.

We鈥檙e joined by the 麻豆社鈥檚 Dominic Casciani who reports from Jordan鈥檚 e-Mufti. The country鈥檚 government has launched an online offensive against IS, but how effective is the project proving?

And finally, we press 鈥楾he Button鈥�, Reddit鈥檚 April fool鈥檚 joke that has taken on a life of its own. The seemingly pointless game has spawned an entire mythology complete with warring clans, and now a major American think-tank has waded into the debate.
