Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats [W:42]

Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

want to expose a group and what it stands for. go for it. please!

want to silence their means of expressing that with which you disagree. should not happen. free speech should not be squelched. no matter how reprehensible the matter they choose to express
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

**** em, it's the Klan.


To be honest though, exposing a couple pieced of trailer park trash from Missouri as racist really isn't much of a victory as they are suggesting.
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

:doh
The general consensus? What general consensus?

iLOL
You don't think reporters get things wrong?

Just because an account contains the letter KKK, doesn't mean it belongs to the KKK.

And just because someone identifies as being anonymous doesn't make them part of Anonymous.
And how would you know all this? Best I can tell you have not provided much.
Because I have been an avid follower of the Ferguson crap.
The KKK account didn't belong to the KKK. I will try to find that info.


And a guy in Pakistan is behind the supposed Anonymous "OpFerguson" account.

Well that didn't take that long.

I read it from the so-called anonymous assholes on the other account they took over.

No it isn't much of an accomplishment at all. At least not for real hackers.
It is more likely what Rainman has said.

Yes, but it's BS. I said why. It's a low priority target that yields nothing. It's puff. It's what a scrub would do.

They (I say they but it most likely 1 bored kid who skipped school) didn't hack twitter to get access to the account, they just "hacked" ( guessed password or obtained by some means) the pass of the KKK. That's it. It's scrub stuff.
The news is just being retarded.
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

No they actually aren't.
While anyone can claim they are anonymous, that is a usurpation of the original.

Take it for what it's worth.
Current comments from the originators of Anonymous.
/pol/ - Bounties placed on Darren Wilson and family

I read the ED page about this. Old anonymous sucks too.
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

not sure if the OP is real or not, but **** the KKK. i grew up in a town tainted by those mother****ers, and when i'd meet new people, they'd know of my town because of the KKK. it ****ing sucked. they're gone from the town now, and its reputation has improved. anyway, i don't like hacking, but **** those racist assholes. the unicorn was a nice touch.
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

If the desired end is to get rid of the KKK, than I believe that in this case the end deserves the means.

Sometimes a man has to do what a man has to do.

No one forced those people to join the KKK.

If belonging to the KKK causes them some problems I have zero sympathy for them.

What about when the same tactics are employed against someone you agree with? Since you support these tactics, you're left with no choice but to condone their use on everyone.

I don't believe that the KKK or any similar organizations will get much support of any kind from Americans.

I have been listing the liberal hoaxes on the media bias thread and I'm wondering if this one will be #18...

As the I hate racists drag-net gets broader and broader, scooping up people who are just minding their own business, they'll get more support, but that's not the point.

When you accept these tactcs as normal, you'll have no choice to sit back and keep quiet when they're used against a group, or a person you do agree with.
 
Re: Anonymous seizes Ku Klux Klan Twitter account over Ferguson threats

will the American communist party account ever be seized?

since they and the KKK, do not respect the rights of people.

Free speech is protected by the 1st Amendment. Harming people because you don't like their race, religion or ethnicity isn't.

Anyone who belongs to any group which promotes the hatred of any race, religion or ethnic group isn't just minding their own business.

That should be obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temperature.

What did these people do to have their home--and their small children--be placed on a hit list?

#Ferguson Group Terrorizes Local Family With Kids – Posts Their Home Address on Targeting List | The Gateway Pundit

Anyone with an IQ higher than their shoe size knows this is wrong and doesn't do anything but energize the KKK's recruiting plan.

That door swings both ways.

The Black Panthers aren't allowed to target innocent people, in Ferguson. No one seems too worried about that, though.

and the thing that is being squelched by this quasi anon entity is the squelching the KKK's ability to engage in free speech (no matter how stupid we might find that speech to be)

As well as hacking?
 
So, one set of obnoxious nutjobs are attacking another set of obnoxious nutjobs, this has what to do with normal people?

whether the nutjobs should have a right to express their meanness/stupidity
 
Btw, why is twitter even allowing a KKK account? They're not a common carrier and have no duty to serve everyone, they can say no.

What terms of service would simply having an account violate?

He's just upset that the entire world isn't actively participating in censoring racism.
