In a continuation of its age old practices of denying web presences to those it deems unworthy of them, an affiliate group of the hacktivist movement, Anonymous, has taken down a website run by the Ku Klux Klan. The White Knights of the KKK site has yet to reappear, after being hit with a sustained denial of service (DDoS) attack.
The Anonymous collective has always had a slight ideological issue with the fact that it is a big proponent of individual freedoms and free speech, and yet uses tactics like DDoS attacks, which make websites inaccessible, as their weapon of choice in silencing those it disagrees with.
Addressing this with the security blog HackRead, a spokesperson for the Anonymous splinter group said that:
“We targeted the KKK [because] we believe in free speech but their form of beliefs is monolithic and evil. We stand for constitutional rights but they want anyone who is not Caucasian removed from earth so we targeted the KKK official website to show love for our boots on the ground and to send a message that all forms of corruption will be fought. We are not fascist but we certainly do not agree with the KKK movement. They are the Fascists and they are the Racists.”
This isn't the first time that Anonymous or its offshoots have targeted groups it considers amoral. It hit out at the main KKK website back in 2015 after it was claimed a member harassed a woman on Twitter, while in 2014, it leaked information from a KKK member's list to the public.

KitGuru Says: While DDOS attacks might seem like they infringe on others freedom of speech, one comparison that I quite like is that it's the equivalent of a digital ‘sit-in.' How do you see DDOS attacks?
DDOS attacks can be avoided now with that Cloudflare protection protocols now
I’d have to ask my friend about this who is more an expert than I am, but IIRC, that doesn’t prevent DDoS, it just mitigates it. You can overwhelm it with enough computers attacking a network.

NASHVILLE – Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam made the following statement after signing Senate Bill 1556:
“Although Senate Bill 1556 has received attention for its perceived focus, my job is to look at the actual substance of the legislation. After considerable thought and discussion with counselors both for and against the bill, I have decided to sign Senate Bill 1556. There are two key provisions of this legislation that addressed concerns I had about clients not receiving care. First, the bill clearly states that it ‘shall not apply to a counselor or therapist when an individual seeking or undergoing counseling is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others.’ Secondly, the bill requires that any counselor or therapist who feels they cannot serve a client due to the counselor’s sincerely held principles must coordinate a referral of the client to another counselor or therapist who will provide the counseling or therapy.
“The substance of this bill doesn’t address a group, issue or belief system. Rather, it allows counselors – just as we allow other professionals like doctors and lawyers – to refer a client to another counselor when the goals or behaviors would violate a sincerely held principle. I believe it is reasonable to allow these professionals to determine if and when an individual would be better served by another counselor better suited to meet his or her needs.”
The bill was signed by the speakers on April 13 and transmitted to the governor for action on April 15.

– See more at: http://tn.gov/news/39923#sthash.9FKCa47q.dpuf Long story short this law allows the State of TN to discriminate against only Gay Boy’s and Girls who are under age and receiving crisis mental health help, on going counseling, therapy, emergency appointment’s. Based on religion. And that this bill does not allow for denial of service to anyone else buy gay young people. Which I don’t see how that’s even fair. Considering if your citizen here then you have right to treated under federal regulations and laws and right’s. But only in state where a Baptist Governor goes after and easy fight picks on kids, instead of adult’s. I looking for help in taking over the Government networks in Nashvile, from the capital to his bank account. Pick on anyone else but fuck with kids thats fucking twisted and sick. I am seeking international help on all level’s. I am seeking those who want to fucking destroy TN databases who want to destroy Baptist Heath data base make it so fucking expensive to repair they give in and change that fucking law. And most off this is a Governor of TN who is going after kids who can’t fight back for there right’s. HE attacks kids I am going fuck his kids up. Who’s for it?
