It backfired tremendously. That Twitter account wasn't very well known, and the controversial government actions helped it become a trending topic in social networks.
That twitter account and others form what they call the "alt gov", and they invite followers to follow other alt gov accounts.
At the end of this exchange, the alt gov people won many followers. The government actually unintentionally helped them with free publicity.

Starting at these nodes who knows what kind of interesting trees might unfold? I image after all they most likely could identify the person if they _really_ wanted to. Twitter's well publicized "stand" aside.
