A hacker who has planted porn and gay images on more than 250 ISIS Twitter accounts has been threatened with beheading.

[...] Following the Orlando gay nightclub shooting he decided to replace the pro-ISIS imagery on their profiles with pro-LGBT messages and links to gay porn.

But now he's revealed his web hijackings have led to horror death threats.

He told CNN: "I get beheading images... death threats. 'We're going to kill you' and that's good because if they are focusing on me they are not doing anything else.

"We started to take over their accounts with porn and gay pride images basically just to troll them. We thought that putting the naked images would offend them."

In before Twitter apologizes to ISIS.

        Ever heard on "nigger ball" ? a special delicacy consisting of oat bran, sugar, chocolate (hence the name), vanilla sugar and butter. Some consider it a offensive word. Others just don't give a shit.

        This then forms a spherical ball. Throwing it may hit something.. Right on! ;-)

    This is a great story because it illustrates how buzzard's claim to support of absolute freedom of speech is just hypocritical support for speech he agrees with.
    He will cheerlead for milo pedolopolous to the point of pretending that milo's own self-published videos supporting pedophilia have been 'debunked' but when some crazy ass muslims get their speech shutdown by vigilantes, that's legit.

      How does the First Amendment apply to the case of a pissing contest between a hacker and a bunch of murderous goat-humpers? There are certainly statutory issues of property and moral issues of content at play, but I see no Constitutional point of law here.

        OP didn't mention the first amendment.
        Also, it compared this to Milo's speech, which is as much a First Amendment case as this is. The restrictions of the First don't apply to Twitter and don't apply to angry mobs. So it's a pretty good comparison...

      Because kinda-sorta-not-really questioning our ridiculous age of consent laws and then backing out like a coward is a good example of someone who supports pedophilia. A pedophile is someone who is sexually attracted to prepubescent children; if they are not prepubescent, then it is not pedophilia. To me, it's quite disturbing how quickly society will form a lynch mob to punish those who don't agree with the status quo. But Milo is ultimately a coward for apologizing and begging for forgiveness, and his criticisms were weak to begin with. It amazes me how angry people get over something so absurd, but it really shows how irrational most people are.

        Er, no. He didn't just "question" them, he went full NAMBLA.

        Another man said, “You are advocating for cross generational relationships here, can we be honest about that?”

        Milo: “Yeah, I don’t mind admitting that. I think particularly in the gay world and outside the Catholic church, if that’s where some of you want to go with this, I think in the gay world, some of the most important, enriching and incredibly life affirming, important shaping relationships very often between younger boys and older men, they can be hugely positive experiences for those young boys. They can even save those young boys, from desolation, from suicide (people talk over each other)… providing they’re consensual.”

    So he takes over the account of an organization well known for beheading people just for disagreeing with their world view and fills it with stuff that is meant to offend them, and now he's surprised that they threaten to behead him? Honestly, I would have been surprised if he didn't get such threats as response.
