The hackers collective, Anonymous, has continued its battle with the Westboro Baptist Church, the home of the God Hates Fags church, and claims to have changed the desktop background on its spokeswomans computer to gay porn.
Anonymous also said they had successfully filed a death certificate for Shirley Phelps-Roper, the outspoken representative of the church, which would prevent her from using her social security number, as well as updating her desktop to gay porn, Forbes reported.
Earlier this week, the hackers attacked the churchs website and begun posting the personal contact details of its main organisers after the church said it would picket the funerals of children murdered at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.
The hacktivist group released a video on 18 December which gives notice of their plans to attack the church, and that they had no intention of reasoning with it.

(1,135 posts)I thought that the hackers are going overboard; this was going too far....
Then, I thought.... Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is well deserved tit for tat for these ugly, evil people. What a mess Shirley will have to wade through for a few weeks!
Keep up the good work hackers - I applaud you!

As Wayne LaPierre found out today, you don't fuck with our children.
Have your way with WBC, good people. And the NRA, too.

(24,721 posts)Ordinarily. But I can't muster up a speck of sympathy for the Westboro cult. When that vile group of scumbags desecrates the sacred burial of a loved one, based on a screwed-up interpretation of what (wo)mankind should ideally be, I have to give Anonymous a pass.
filed a death certificate for Shirley Phelps-Roper (...) which would prevent her from using her social security number, as well as updating her desktop to gay porn
High marks for originality & cleverness.

I forgot to say, I love Anonymous.

(12,875 posts)And that Anonymous has the freedom to engage in electronic civil disobedience in response to that speech.
I wouldn't stop them from protesting but I wouldn't want anypony to stop Anonymous from doxing that ass, either.
I veer between pity for Westboro "members" and suspicion that they are cannibal trolls looking to get a rise out of people for profit, in which case we are feeding them with attention...

(50,947 posts)so that all outgoing calls to other family jerks go to the police? Outgoing calls to other people go to phone numbers originating in the Caribbean that cost $5 or more per minute? Or have calls to their family members cost $5 or more per minute?

(27,670 posts)Members of the quasi-religious group, Westboro Baptist Church, planned to gather in Connecticut to protest the funeral of Newtown, Conn., shooting victim Principal Dawn Hochsprung. However, Good Samaritans were already there to thwart any possible protest with a human wall.
It's wonderful to see people taking a stand against these hateful fascist wackos.

(6,268 posts)No, that's not internet hyperbole. Yes, I realize what I typed. Yes, I really think/feel that way.
The world will be a better place when the WBC shitstains depart from it.
