More than 40,000 users reported they could not access X on Monday, according to data from tracking website Downdetector.com.

In a now-deleted post on Telegram, a hacking group called Dark Storm Team claimed responsibility for the attack.

Do you think it really was a group in Ukraine, or do you reckon that’s bullshit?

    Anonymous already claimed responsibility and I doubt they’d use multiple addresses from Ukraine, if any, honestly. He’s blaming them to further convince right-wingers that Ukraine=bad.

      And to back this up they registered a domain for their “Operation Dreadnaught” on Feb 2. So it does show some premeditation instead of opportunistic attribution.

        Conservative means to keep the status quo. We have only had a few years without defacto apartheid in this country and that is the status quo that they are trying to go back to. These people are absolutely right wing conservatives and please don’t let them fool you into thinking that there is a difference.

          Status quo is subjective.

          My idea of conservative status quo goes back to the 2000s and early 2010s. What’s been happening since 2014 or so, is a clear slide away from that and it’s something else.
