Anonymous lists Twitter handles of suspected pedophiles
Anonymous hacktivists are in the midst of a campaign to name and shame suspected pedophiles who allegedly use Twitter to prey on and harass underage children.
Named #TwitterPedoRing, the operation began yesterday (June 4), and has already seen data dumps of hundreds of Twitter accounts that Anonymous followers believe belong to pedophiles.
In an unsigned Pastebin post, someone claiming to speak for Anonymous wrote, "This is a list of pedophiles that Twitter hasn't deemed important to remove despite their affiliations with each other, their posts of children participating in lewd acts, and their requests for this sort of material." The posting contined, "We are releasing these names in hopes that Twitter will work together with LEA [law enforcement authorities] in order to catch and stop these scumbags."
