ickaimpDreamwidth has been experiencing a massive troll attack, basically doing what 'Warriors of Innocence' was doing that prompted LJ's Strikethrough '07. Including attacking the host servers, sponsors and affiliates.
Unlike LJ however, DW is sticking to their guns and TOS, not deleting journals or posts, and are being extremely classy about it, including not naming names. Yet another reason why I love Dreamwidth.
Some Google-fu reveals 'Parents for Responsible New Media' spamming pastebin for the past several days, accusing the DW's host server of hosting 'child pr0n' and promising retribution.
... and linking to Supernatural smut.
Co-incidence?
Ye-ah. Prolly not. ~_~ Why are people stupid?

Questions of legality
Date: 2010-01-16 01:02 am (UTC)What RIGHT does that group have to go about there information gathering? They use the term 'infiltrate' which depending on how you spin can suggest illegal activities like 'espionage' and 'trespassing'. And I'm also unsure of just what a 'skip tracer' is, but it also sounds shady.
You're so right about the stupid. Bad enough that people would take this seriously. The claims are so unsupported it's ridiculous. And boy is it sad I'm thinking of ways those bozo's could have presented their message better.
Cheerio,
