No I don't know who's behind it but I'd imagine fucking copyright holders are no doubt involved.

    Claims a pro-Palestine hacker group is behind the attack and that smells really fishy.

      Ah yes because clearly such a group would have no higher priority targets

      EDIT: Of course the fucking comments section is swallowing that line uncritically and using it as an excuse to wish further violence upon Palestinians

        Good chance its just Fed-to-Fed communication. So much of the internet is just saturated with manufactured consent.

          Especially twitter. It is pretty much entirely just stormfront fascists and government feds (same-picture) and bots and advertising for onlyfans and crypto scams. It ruins my day any time I click on a twitter link. Nobody real or worth taking seriously at face value is seriously using that platform, especially in comments and replies.

    I used to mock "Hacker News" for having no hackers, just bootlickers, but apparently there are hacking bootlickers. pathetic

      I imagine people can't say no to a fat dogecoin check from publishers, or whatever shitcoin hackers like to be paid in now a days.

        I'm leaning more toward well meaning but foolish hacktivists than a mossad psyop tbh
        that sphere is full of immature low-information egomaniacs

          Could very well be if they're still reping the "anonymous" bullshit script kiddo stuff and saying anyone who doesn't like this is obviously trans and mentally unwell jagoff
