Anonymous Is Really Screwing Up Its Stupid War on ISIS

This should not hail as a surprise , but Anonymous is plausibly not going to rid the world of scourge with its innumerous “ ops . ” In fact , the latest report indicatethat the leaderless pack of hacktivists is not only incapable of disrupting ISIS , it seems like Anonymous is totally have it off this one up .

It ’s been a week since Anonymousdeclared war on ISIS . Before tenacious , multiple cabal launched disparate attacks on the fierce terrorist brass , the vast legal age of which were attempts to shutter ISIS - supporting Twitter explanation . The big problem with these efforts is the fact that Anonymous is actually direct a portion of masses that have absolutely nothing to do with ISIS , so much so that the assault is starting to bet mistily antiblack and somewhat xenophobic .

Almost all of the 5,000 or so Twitter accounts that Anonymous has identified in a “ HowToHelp ” text file have already been set aside , according to Ars Technica . But whoop , these lists are really sort of bullshit . Ars reports :

Another leaning of about 4,000 accounts posted by Anonymous members and critique by Ars includes Twitter invoice that have carry messages large-hearted to ISIS , but in the majority they are not specifically ISIS . Some are actually those of Palestinians , and others come along to be accounts “ trolling ” ISIS . Others appear to be only accounts in Arabic .

Even Twitter allege that these list of aver ISIS - loving usersare “ wildly inaccurate . ”The microblogging platform is well aware of the ISIS threat and the extent to which the terrorists apply Twitter to pass around destructive propaganda . However , smart hoi polloi with a best apprehension of the ISIS threatare waging their own campaign , and Twitter has a follow-up squad with moderator liquid in Arabic who are consecrate to shut down ISIS account .

Again , it ’s hardly a electric shock that Anonymous adjudicate to economize the reality and did more harm than good . The hacktivistshave done this many times before , andthey’ll probably do it again . Just remember to be disbelieving when you see an emoji - laced contract of war go viral on YouTube . Be very sceptical .
