why are they allowed to tweet freely?

What? Huh? Who stops them?

[Silver Night]

If the account was shut down, they would just start another one.

[Seriphyn]

Well, I mean, hacking's illegal right? Same reason I can't go posting about how I murdered someone on Twitter...I would figure, at any rate.

[Casiella]

Twitter doesn't exactly monitor the millions of messages sent every second.

[Seriphyn]

Well, I figured they might have something like "Report user" or whatever, but yeah, it's all redundant I suppose.

[Casiella]

They do, so report them and see what happens. Depends on the ToS. Also, whose laws? They actively supported the Iranian protestors, for example.

[Mithfindel]

While they have (possibly) some proficient guys on board the Lulz boat, today does look very much like bored script kiddies.

While I was needlessly agressive, I did say http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=2386.0

I hate hackers for a reason. This is one. Frankly, thinking about it some white-hat that hacks his way all the way into being a button-push from crashing CCP and then inform them that they have a hole to plug, well, that would be white-hat. "I hacked your system in this manner for the hell of it - and here is how - I could take it all down with a single button-press, I would hope you guys fix this asap - here's a few ways you might do that."

Somewhat innocent, though annoying to the victims, I'm sure. The problem comes when they actually push that button - and pat themselves on the back for a job well done. THERE is the difference and the ability to do tihs kind of damage to thousands from te god's know where is just absurd, imho.

Can only hope CCP get's this fixed asap, I'm trying to get back into active EVE playing and this is not helping much

The longer it takes, the more SPs they'll hand out to say sorry.

[Crucifire]

I have a twitter I post in every time I hire a prostitute, rob a bank, take a psychadelic substance, kidnap a prostitute, steal from a child, transport illegal immigrants or feed baking soda to seagulls. I have never run into problems.

In any case here's hoping LulzSec doesn't make off with a bunch more credit cards. Glad mine isn't in any of my accounts.

[Milo Caman]

Vaguely amused. Server being broken is pretty normal anyway.

Also:

Secondly, why are they allowed to tweet freely?

Twitter are a pro net-neutrality organization, and as such, won't cave in to governments or courts asking for information on users unless it's something like child pornography or international terrorism. (and I mean actual terrorism, not bullshit excuses to curb civil rights)

Eh. They hit the US Senate yesterday, so RMT is not their biggest concern.

Wait, you're implying that there are people in the US government actually competent enough to trace 16 year old Swedish Skiddies and do something about them? Don't be silly.

[Senn Typhos]

Hey now, boss. We find people all the time.

It just takes us a few years. So lay off. >:U

Yes, but often they are the wrong people.

[Ken]

You say that like it's relevant.

I wouldn't be too sure of that. As I recall, Twitter immediately rolled over with big puppy-dog eyes as soon as they were asked for user details of people that may have broken a super injunction in the UK by naming a footballer on Twitter.
