Twitter Suspends Anonymous’ Most Popular Account, @YourAnonNews
- sharkweek 14y agoSeems to be still there for me? -- https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews
- kamjam 14y agoRead the update at the bottom stating the reason for the account suspension, and from that i would gather they had the account reinstated.
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoThere have been more updates (and I can't find the reason) - why were they suspended?
- kamjam 14y agoFrom TFA, it looks like it was because they published addresses. http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/a-fwehncyaa9rig.png http://nyobetabeat.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/a-fwehncyaa9r... I wonder if you will get your account blocked by publishing a Google Maps/Street View link right outside the person's house instead?
- danielweber 14y agoIf it lets someone trivially figure out a private person's private information, yes. There isn't a completely sharp dividing line between what's acceptable and what isn't, but that's true of most things in life.

- iomike 14y agothey're back
- hnriot 14y agoI'm glad they are back. We need more people to stand up to religious fanatic hate groups like the Westboro Baptist morons.
- wyclif 14y ago"Hate group under the guise of religion." Fixed that for you. Sorry, but I've got no patience for religion-bashing on HN.
- danielweber 14y agoI know "if you ignore them, they will go away" is cliche, but it's really true for WBC. Don't organize counter-protests, just ignore them completely, and they will evaporate into the ether.
- thwest 14y agoAgreed, because religion, like technology, is a pure force for good that could not possibly be exploited for nefarious purposes. I bet if you asked a WBC member they would actually be uncertain and confused about their faith! It's not like the organization actually mirrors the power structure of pastor explaining a holy text to his flock. (Sarcasm aside, its totally possible for a word like "religion" to contain contradictions and you aren't adding anything to the debate with a claim about who is "actually religious" and who is "guised as religious". If they claim it it's theirs.)
- wyclif 14y agoThe fact that religion "exploited for nefarious purposes" is what WBC traffics in was precisely my point.
- aaronblohowiak 14y agoI think "religious fanatic" is not bashing non-fanatic religious followers, as fanatic necessarily indicates an excess of "single-minded zeal".
- mememememememe 14y agoOkay. Maybe WBM are bunch of morons and bithces. But, I don't approve Anonymous. I think these people are way too liberal on many issues and they are just a bunch of morons as well. I don't approve Anonymous.
- cllns 14y agoJust a theory, Twitter could support Anonymous and suspended their account very temporarily to attract more press for the YourAnonNews account. I don't necessarily I believe that, but it's a possibility.
