Anonymous Begins Publishing Ku Klux Klan Member Details Online
An anonymous reader writes: Anonymous has begun releasing the personal details of members of the Ku Klux Klan, escalating its cyberwar against the white supremacist group. Last week the hacktivist group promised to reveal the identity of 1,000 members of the KKK after getting possession of the private information through a compromised Twitter account. A press release from Anonymous reads in part: "After closely observing so many of you for so very long, we feel confident that applying transparency to your organizational cells is the right, just, appropriate and only course of action. You are abhorrent. Criminal. You are more than extremists. You are more than a hate group. You operate much more like terrorists and you should be recognized as such. You are terrorists that hide your identities beneath sheets and infiltrate society on every level. The privacy of the Ku Klux Klan no longer exists in cyberspace. You’ve had blood on your hands for nearly 200 years. You continue to inflict civil rights violations, commit violent crimes and solicit others to commit violent criminal acts. You seek to intimidate and/or eliminate those that are different from you and those that you dislike by any means possible. You seek to terrorize anyone and anything that you feel is a threat to your narrow view of the 'American way of life'."
The names of a thousand hateful red necks. Sounds like the best reading list for the winter. The real fun will be to see who gets wrongly targeted. I hope no one has the same name as me or signed me up. Vigilantes for the win!
The crux of the matter comes down to this: is it a burning issue?
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
Looking at the Pastebin data, seems almost all the E-mail addresses in the pre-release come from a Russian site. It would be interesting to have some confirmation before people listed in the data get the dogs of war sicced on them.
One anonymous criminal organization exposing another. For transparency no less!
There are no journalistic controls in place. They can put whoever they want on that list.
We should never allow people with unpopular opinions to have any privacy at all.
Oh wait... we hates the KKK so it's just "publishing" informaiton.
Information we don't even have decent proof as to the nature of the source.
Like Dan Rather's proof that Bush got preferential treatment - Until the documents were proved as forgeries - That's ok, he said, the documents are fake but what they said is true!
So which is it? Do Slashdot's editors now agree that doxxing is good?
The data in this one makes no sense.
This isn't Anon, this is someone else trying to discredit Anonymous before the real data comes out.
The usefulness of your post notwithstanding, I heard in a news broadcast a few months ago (to my recollection) that the Klan's membership used to numbers in the millions at its peak and is now measured in tens of thousands. Happily, it's a club apparently on the decline.
Oh wait, they are not doing anything to expose actual terrorists, because that might actually be dangerous?
I don't think much of the KKK but to call them "terrorists" seems a pretty big stretch at this point because they've not really done anything, or been relevant for some time. They probably talk a lot of shit on private mailing lists, but as we all SHOULD know that doesn't mean much.

The short post of four US Senators and five US mayors includes one openly gay mayor and a older Latina woman who started her political career organizing Mexican laborers with Cesar Chavez. That alone casts a bit of doubt on the accuracy of this list.
An alternative theory - a lot of these individuals may have signed up for these mailing lists simply to monitor these groups, and some of them may have just been signed up by other people as a prank. Just pulling information from a mailing list hardly represents membership.
I'm with the dicks.
They say it be as it is, comrade.
But is not.
So, a lot of people have been asking about this...asking why so many of the addresses end in ".ru"
Fundamentally...think about it. Russia is a haven for a lot of different things, including bulletproof hosting that is beyond the reach of the FBI and other Western LEOs, either via direct raids, wiretaps or by more procedural means (subpoenas, etc.). So it entirely makes sense that people who are, in the truest sense of the word, interested in the overthrow of the US Government as it exists today should use email accounts that are hosted in Russia, far from the reach of the organizations that are out to get them.
For your security, this post has been encrypted with ROT-13, twice.
But being a Klansman is not inherently illegal. Being an Anonymous hacker that deals in stolen data is. While I agree that the KKK has a horrible message, they aren't the criminals here.
The Klan as a mainstream group, even in the deep south, peaked in the 1920's. It had a brief minor resurgence in the 1960's during the civil rights movement, but for the most part it's a fringe-of-a-fringe-of-a-fringe movement and has been for most of its existence. Exposing them isn't even fighting racism, since their membership rolls today are made up of a tiny handful of disenfranchised rednecks who don't have any power to oppress or intimidate anyone. Hitting them today is like stabbing Julius Caesar several decades after his funeral. It's a pointless feel-good exercise that doesn't help anyone.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
There are dark times ahead for the KKK.
First they came for the pedophiles. I was not a pedophile, so I did nothing.
Then they came for the Klansmen. I was not a Klan member, so I did nothing.
Then they came for the Anonymous Cowards who post on Slashdot.

One of the supposed members is the mayor of Lexington, KY named Jim Gray who is very openly gay. While it could be true I guess, I seriously doubt this guy is a member of the KKK.
Cases of arson, lynching, beatings, killings, cross burnings and voter suppression in an organized manner against a specific segment of the population?

Are they talking about themselves or the KKK ?
You can accuse anyone of anything. Now probably this will expose mostly a bunch of KKK shitheads, but if I were a cowardly misanthrope looking to inflict petty malice on someone without it getting back to me, I'd add their name to a list like this.
In Freakonomics, they delve into one man's 30 year war against the KKK, where he broadcasts things like their secret rituals and so on, on radio shows, effectively turning them from a serious organization to a laughingstock few people (relatively) wanted to join, in the early part of the century.
The vast bulk of damage to them is already long done. The point of the article was mockery, rather than outlawing, seemed to be much more productive.
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Perhaps that was intentionally done by Anonymous who are simply trolling and seeing if they can get a reactionary internet crowd to send these people all kinds of hate mail because they never verified the accuracy of the list.
It sounds like the kind of thing they would do "for the lulz" based on previous exploits.
Cases of arson, lynching, beatings, killings, cross burnings and voter suppression in an organized manner against a specific segment of the population?....The frequency is down but it still occurs or is overlooked.
But when was the last time any of that happened? I have not seen stories about anything like that for many years - the most recent stuff being black churches set fire to, which it turned out was not don't by the KKK at all (who would seem to have been a primary suspect).
I'm not saying the KKK has not been a horrible organization in the past, or even that they are in any way an organization that should be supported today. I'm saying that they have become essentially irrelevant, and the resources used to combat the "terrorists" of the KKK would be far better spent on real terrorists - but they aren't because the real terrorists can bite. Attacking the KKK like this is lame because it's pretending to help people while actually helping no-one.
The KKK is dying, why even give them the publicity these attacks grant? It can only help the KKK at this point.

So if your name shows up in this dump, will that be a public service too? Because it most certainly could. What possible mechanism do you think exists to unequivocally verify whether any of these names denote actual members of the KKK before their reputations are irreparable tarnished?

In the US the KKK is allowed to exist. You're allowed (fortunately for the time being) to still form groups and speak your mind and influence the political process by your words (so long as that's ALL you're doing and not actually trying to be a criminal organization) regardless of how stupid, insane or irrational as it may be.
There are a few states with hate speech laws on the books but they're fortunately far and few in between because "hate speech" means whatever the political elite want it to mean at that point in time - Thaylin's comment here being a perfect demonstration of such.
Case in point, it's an easy open and shut case to prosecute black lives matter groups for incitement and hate speech - lots of proof too - But so long as they're not committing actual crimes they shouldn't be silenced or have their ideas buried for not being approved.
That's what being in an free society is all about.

The names of a thousand hateful red necks.
"Redneck" is a racial slur. It insinuates that the target is, not just from a rural culture (especially - a poor white southern farmer), and not just sunburned on the back of his neck due to working outdoors with a short haircut, but also that he may be part American Indian. (It originates in a time where this was considered to be extremely "poor breeding", and many so-called "sundown towns" had laws requiring people with any American Indian genetics to be out of town by undown.
It currently has an implication that the pepole it is applied to are unintelligent and uneducated. (The space program proves the lie of this: Note the accents of the people involved. A substantial fraction of real rocket scientists are, and were, rednecks.) This slur dates at least to the Scopes Monkey Trial (which was largely a propaganda piece fomented by the mining interests to brand the miners, who were trying to unionize at the time, as igorant idiots in the urban east coast's public perception.)
Rule of thumb: If you don't self-identify as a redneck, and wouldn't use the "N" word, don't use the "R" word.

Please clarify, are you saying my comment is an example of hate speech ? there was nothing in my statement that indicated hate. Politicians in a hate group should be outted. When someone places themselve, of their own free will into the public spotlight and says "hey look at me, I am virtuous" then they deserve to be looked at to determine if they are indeed virtuous.

The usefulness of your post notwithstanding, I heard in a news broadcast a few months ago (to my recollection) that the Klan's membership used to numbers in the millions at its peak and is now measured in tens of thousands. Happily, it's a club apparently on the decline.
The clan has had many rises and falls throughout history -- it hasn't been one continuous organization. This is the third Ku Klux Klan active. The first arose (and fell) during Southern Reconstruction after the Civil War, the second Klan was active between WWI and WWII (and was more concerned about Catholics, Jews, and immigrants moreso than black people), and the third arose post-World War II. Who knows if a fourth will ever arise. At first, I thought it would be more difficult in today's world of hyper-connectedness, but one of the side-effects is that it's now far easier for geographically-distant radicals to band together and enjoy their echo chamber.
The BNP *were* a party. I don't know if their dwindling away to nothing was entirely due to the membership leak, but presumably it had a big part to play. Hopefully the same will happen to the KKK.
No sympathy. Racist thugs don't deserve it.
So are American's allowed to join ISIS and speak their mind about it?
No.
It seems only foreign terrorist organisations are banned. Domestic ones are allowed. And yes, the KKK is a terrorist group. How else can you describe their activities as "night riders". Lynching, burning and dragging black people.
Klan membership had always ebbed and flowed. According to HateWatch and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Klan membership is sadly on the rise again.
My city's mayor was also identified even though he's a democratic mayor with fairly liberal leanings. The supporting evidence isn't as strong with him as it is with the others that they are NOT members of the KKK, but it's pretty hard to believe.
I had not heard of this, but if he did it he should be prosecuted for encouraging vigilantism. Zimmerman shot a kid in self defense, and when the courts ruled it as the truth, he should have been left alone.

and, the Anonymous statement above "You seek to intimidate and/or eliminate those that are different from you and those that you dislike by any means possible" could equally be applied to Anonymous, just sayin....
It's still a bit stunning to me how few people understand the whole concept of "Freedom of Speech". Even this anon doesn't seem to understand what it is all about. There is nothing in the First Amendment about you or me impinging on anyone's freedom of speech, only on congress passing laws that would do so.
So it would not matter what Anonymous did, unless Anonymous happened to be the law-making body of our government (i.e. congress) that would apply. So the whole free speech part of the press release speaks really poorly of their (or that person's) understanding of this particular issue. There was no need to defend themselves from the imputed accusation that they were impinging on someone's freedom of speech, since they are perfectly free to do so if they wanted too.

I doubt they even have that many members, my unsubstantiated guess would be well under 10,000, maybe half that many.
But I agree, it's good to see them in decline. In the next 20 years (after all the old geezer members die off) I suspect they'll be down to a couple of thousand, if that. They'll be vastly outnumbered by furries and people that enjoy My Little Pony porn, lol.

That has what all to do with the comment you're replying to? The topic isn't racism in general, it's the KKK in particular and vigilante action / doxxing in general. Yes, the KKK are bad because they're racist, but this disclosure (even if 100% accurate and not leading to any false positives, which is respectively unlikely and laughably absurd) doesn't actually do anything about racism as a problem or viewpoint of the people in question.
In fact, it makes anti-racists look like hypocrites who don't care about collateral damage, which is... not the best way to go about convincing people of the righteousness of your cause.

Indeed it would be better. Rightwing crazies in small parties may be annoying, but they are also relatively harmless... at least, unless everything else go horribly wrong and they win a number of parliamentary seats, form a coalition with the mainstream conservatives which sees their leader made president in an effort to absorb them into the mainstream and defuse the situation, then the chancelor dies and the newly appointed president appoints himself to that office as well effectively removing all checks and balances and becoming the absolute ruler and then they haul off every liberal and socialist in government one night and shoot them in the head... but in fairness that's only happened once.

The irony is that UKIP appear to be less racist too.
Meanwhile BNP membership is discriminated against by the police service, which will almost certainly have greatly reduced the number of people signing up. If the police banned membership of Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Conservatives, the Lib Dems, the SNP and UKIP too then you'd see membership for those drop as well.
I don't know about individuals, but if nobody in the KKK is a terrorist now I don't think it should be thought of as a terrorist organization. Assholes have rights in this country, and if they want to organize to talk about a stupid ideology they can.

The second Klan, unlike the first and third, was a more urban movement with a centralized leadership structure, and were based in the West and Midwest with a smaller base in the South (specifically Alabama). While it's true that Birth of a Nation helped galvanize the second Klan in the South and gave us much of the visual imagery that we associate today with the Klan, the organization was riding the wave of anti-immigrant sentiment at the time. Don't get me wrong, they were still a completely racist and anti-black organization, but that wasn't their core focus at the time; black people were kept "in their place" in the South, and the second Klan was more concerned with external threats. Mostly Protestants, they have great distrust towards the Catholic Church and the American Jew (the Anti-Defamation League was formed as a response to the second Klan's anti-Jewish activities). They also strongly endorsed, and this was one of their greatest popular selling points, Prohibition. They burned saloons in the South and attacked bootleggers. They didn't get much foothold in the northeast due to the stronger Catholic influence there.
They were (late in the organization) strongly anti-Communist, but I'm guessing that the stated goals of the second Klan being so close to the stated goals of the Nazi Party helped kill off the second clan. Being a group that thrived on social tension, the Great Depression and World War II killed off that organization for good. They had more of a centralized organization, but they were also very secretive, so when membership lists were leaked and published, people left the Klan in droves. The Klan was already in great decline by the 1930s after some of the leaders were convicted for murder
The third Klan arose in the late 40s and 1950s as a response to the Civil Rights Movement and upward mobility in Black Americans, and as such was far more concerned with the rights (or lack thereof) of black folks. That's the group we think of as the Klan today.
Interesting reads include Kelly Baker's Gospel According to the Klan and while Wikipedia may be iffy at times, it's worthwhile to follow the references it cites.

In the United States of America, we have the freedom of speech, yes. But nowhere are we guaranteed freedom from the consequences of speech. There may not be government-imposed consequences, but there are social, political, news/media, and/or market consequences.

Also, privacy is not a constitutional right. I am still having an internal debate on whether it should be. But even if privacy were a constitutional right, a person would lose such a right if they shared their opinion publicly on Social media. That opinion is now public and no longer private by the person's own choice. If that person tries to get around this by using an alias account, well, there is no guarantee that the alias will really hide who that person is.

The clue is in the party names. The SNP only stood in Scotland, and they won virtually every steat they contested. UKIP stood throughout the UK. There is no sense in which UKIP did better than the SNP. Not MPs and not votes.
The irony is that UKIP appear to be less racist too.
They try harder to hide it. But rarely a week went by during the election when one candidate or another wasn't outed for racism.
Meanwhile BNP membership is discriminated against by the police service
Good. And the adoption service too. You can't condone having racists as policemen, or racists adopting children.

I can't condone having sexists in those roles either but feminists aren't banned.
I can't condone having fuckwits that want to overthrow the government in those roles but communists aren't banned.
I can't condone having people that reject the law of the land in favour of their fictional book of lies but muslims aren't banned.
How about banning people based on their behaviour, not on the political party they support? Someone in the police commits racist acts, prosecute them, sack them. That's not so hard.
It is possible to be a member of the BNP and not be a racist. Just as it's possible to be a member of the SNP and not be a racist. Equally unlikely but one of those is banned from the police service and not the other.
Your clear sympathy for the BNP is noted.
Your clear inability to identify objective observation and content agnostic defence of basic rights has been rather more accurately noted.
