Spider Dog is the latest global YouTube sensation. Who is behind it? BBC Trending's Anna Meisel heads to Poland to meet the man who has terrified over 80 million viewers, made a fortune from his films, and claims he just wants to make Poles smile more. But why’s he so unpopular with the local police? #BurnIsisFlagCHallenge and others burning the ISIS flag have started a big debate about how to challenge the image of Islamic State radicals. The US government has released its own anti-IS video too. So what’s behind this social media fightback? We hear from one of those who started the flag-burning campaign in Lebanon.
