It’s incredible to me that people can applaud for the illegal activities of hacktivists like donk enby or the ddos secrets people (https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/DDoSecrets:About https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/DDoSecrets:About) but aggressively accuse their political opponents of “doxxing” for recording crimes by rioters or antifa in public spaces. If it isn’t apparently already, hacktivists are by and large just a criminal arm of the progressive political machine. You aren’t going to find these groups exposing the activities and private communications of left leaning groups. Using criminality for political goals is terrorism, and this group should be labeled as such. Twitter and other platforms seem to be giving them safe harbor, however, even though they’re willing to censor others so readily.

Given Twitter's intense proclivity for banning political dissent, there is a 100% likelihood they got the nod from the FBI to leave this up as a honeypot for idiots to flock to like flies to shit. Didn't Twitter just update their hacked materials policy? Why the exception here? How are these people dodging indictments using no opsec?

  In fairness, the hacked materials policy was a very transparent attempt to suppress the whole Hunter Biden laptop saga. (I really don’t give a fuck about that whole story but you can’t talk about the hacked materials policy without mentioning its genesis). So I don’t think a double standard is hard to explain. (I do think your guess is a plausible one)

    What did the Hunter Biden laptop have to do with hacks? I thought it was left at a repair shop.

Could it be that hacktivists align themselves with the progressive and anti-authoritarian left as they value individual freedom and mutual aid? That is much more plausible than assuming they are a leftist criminal arm. Actually, had that been the case, we would have seen hacktivists that support both sides, because, as you said, they are 'just a criminal arm' and can be bought.
