Twitter was knocked off line today from a Denial of Service attack. Facebook and LiveJournal were also effected, but Twitter seemed to have gotten the worst of it. Google is helping try to figure out who was behind the attack (http://mashable.com/2009/08/06/denial-of-service-attack). The reasoning this was launched is still unknown, but Twitter is back up and running.

Rather than denial of service attacks, Twitter has been shut down because of all the chatter about Government crimes, especially the Obama admin which apparently intends to impose mandatory vaccinations on school children this fall. The prevalent talk of Obama heralding martial law to force vaccines on the entire country is very visible. If the popular (created) trends are discussions of an Iran invasion or trivialities to distract the public, Twitter works just fine.
ReplyDelete@WHO Vaccines - are you accusing the Obama administration of knocking out Twitter? If so I am curious to know what you have to back up that ridiculous claim.
