BREAKING: 'hit list' website doxxing tens of officials & peddling an election grievance narrative is linked to Iran by @FBI

Quick THREAD on some interesting features 1/ https://twitter.com/nakashimae/status/1341547312968024071

2. The main 'hit list' is disturbing. Officials' emails, home addresses, google street view images, and & pics w/crosshairs on foreheads. Not going to include it. The pretense: this is some sort of user-generated effort (e.g. this 'submission' graphic)

3. Operators took a page out of the ISIS playbook & posted their stuff in many places trying to avoid a takedown. Then told users to expected it. Leveraging the caches @internetarchive's @waybackmachine.

4. Despite a wave of coordinated takedowns, @parler_app & @vkontakte profiles STILL ONLINE. Not linking to them, but indicates something about how those two platforms handle gov-backed disinformation...
