Jack Dorsey has been on a rampage against abuse on Twitter.. which may (or may not) have something to do with the fact that the dual Square/Twitter CEO had his Verified Twitter account hacked by OurMine.
According to Engadget’s screen shot, OurMine took over Dorsey’s account and tweeted:
“Hey, its OurMine, we are testing your security, visit ourmine.org”
OurMine is the same organization fighting anonymous in a battle which culminated with a
DDoS attacked on Wikileaks. The attack took Wikileaks offline according to HotForSecurity and has also attacked Facebook, Oculus, and Google.
The Dorsey hack comes on the heels of Twitter’s action to lock-down millions of accounts following a password theft. As The Verge puts it:
“…after cross-checking the password dump with its records, Twitter identified some of its accounts as requiring extra protection, locking them and requiring a password reset. It’s not clear how many accounts Twitter chose to lock…”
Recall back in February when we reported on Twitter’s “Ministry of Truth” in which we said:
“Twitter is a private company. It is free to make whatever speech rules it wants. Forcing Twitter to permit more kinds of speech would not actually be pro-free speech—in fact, it would violate the First Amendment. We hope we don’t get banned for saying that.”
Dorsey is now seeing backlash against his efforts at squelching ‘free‘ speech he may not like while simultaneously promoting Twitter as a First
Amendment platform. It is only a matter of time until the First Amendment is destroyed (for your own protection) in favor of Safe Spaces and Political Correct And Approved speech.
