News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on Twitter blocked my account for a tweet I did not make. Parent comment

I'm not so sure. If he really made that tweet (while drunk as you suggest) it would be better to just delete it and avoid the potential Streisand effect when the truth gets discovered, and I'm sure he's aware of that.

Social media accounts have been hacked before, it's nothing new.

This particular tweet would be a fairly peculiar one to post on a hacked account.

It’s really surprising that his account would get banned for it in the first place.

> avoid the potential Streisand effect when the truth gets discovered

That’s never going to happen. Twitter would never publicly call him out even if the story was entirely fabricated, they just wouldn’t respond.
