Anonymous Posts Pornography To Hijacked ISIS Twitter Accounts (softpedia.com)
An anonymous Slashdot reader writes:
Softpedia is reporting that a member of the Anonymous collective "has been hijacking accounts for the most active ISIS supporters, the ones involved in online recruitment, and has been plastering their profiles with naked women and peaceful messages."
Anonymous is also using the hijacked accounts to monitor "protected" tweets from ISIS, and they're reporting hundreds of thousands of other ISIS profiles to Twitter.
But Anonymous is also defacing 161 of the hijacked accounts, saying they're "Adding our own images and basically showing them 'We are in control'... we are creating confusion and distrust..." There are a few things that the Islamic State fear. One is women and the second is Porn."
And probably twitter will ban it much faster if it is porn than if it were "just" ISIS propaganda.
Prude america, wake up!
As Robert S. McNamara said, "Satire, trolling and propaganda are best when they walk a fine line between being extreme enough to be effective and yet mundane enough to be believable."
A light sprinkling - ideally gay ones or a bit of pegging - here and there.

My thought also. The script kiddies of Anonymous will get one day of poking fun at ISIS out of this stunt, but a much better strategy would be for the NSA to quietly take over ISIS sites and, using all the global intelligence at its disposal, set up false feeds and chatter, funnel ISIS troops into kill zones, and issue faked calls for terrorist activity in the US and Europe which would lure the next Mateen into a police trap.
We need to capture people like Mateen alive, so that their minds can be disassembled using the latest techniques to root out the ISIS command trees in Western countries. Every dead terrorist is a good terrorist, but it's also one we can't get information from.

I bet they don't ask how he got a machine gun in a developed nation!

How much of a "command structure" do you need for a lone gunman? If he contacted IS - which is as of yet unclear, or if he just pledged to join their fight - there's no guarantee that he knew anyone or had anyone local who had turned him into a radical. He was angry and wanted to shoot up a gay club, since this is the US he already had the guns so is there any indication IS was more involved than *thumbsup*? This was not Paris or Brussels with many attackers and IEDs, there's no indication this was really organized or trained in any way.

There would have been no difference. The assault weapon ban did not ban the firearm, it banned the firearm from looking a certain way. It was the absolute dumbest ban in the world as you could literally take the flash suppressor off the ar-15, put a wooden or composite stock on it, and it no longer would be banned.
What would have stopped this is if the type of people (gays are typically leftist) actually carrying a firearm of their own. Of course this is a "gun free zone" which means even that is something not likely to have made any difference unless someone was willing to break the law in the first place. But if only a handful of these 300 people were packing firearms illegally, or even if off duty cops (who would be legally allowed to carry as long as they weren't drinking) they could have stopped it long before it became what it was.
As it turned out, the only thing that stopped a bad guy with a gun was a good guy with a gun. While I don't agree with the gay lifestyle, I simply cannot believe none of the gays are good guys. The only thing missing would be the gun.
It's your fault for not participating in the firehose. Slashdot does not report the news. Users submit articles and vote to bring them to discussion.
That's true, is Europe you like to have your random violence at football matches, don't you.
