Porn star Riley Reid’s Twitter account hacked by neo-Nazis who used it to spread vile antisemitic hate to her 2m fans
A NEO-NAZI group hacked porn star Riley Reid’s Twitter account to try and recruit her followers to their sickeningly racist regime.
A minion devoted to the bizarre Injekt Division hijacked the adult actress’ social media accounts and shared a series of hateful posts.

They tried to recruit some of the adult star’s millions of followers[/caption]
The troll kept her account captive for several days earlier this month, while taking advantage of Riley‘s huge online audience.
They called for the release of a fellow white supremacist who plotted to shoot up a Walmart store among a string of dark tweets.
This included racist, transphobic and anti-Semitic comments, as well as abuse towards porn stars and sex workers.
The neo-Nazis chillingly showed off their logo on Riley’s Twitter account in a bid to entice her followers, that symbolises their sick ideology.
A former Injekt Division leader previously said the needle design represents an “extremist alternative to the 12-step program.”
“Hence the syringe logo… Extremism and purpose are the only way to abstain from bad habits,” he said, according to Vice.
The group went on a rampage on Riley’s account for three days, desperately attempting to inspire an anti-porn movement.
One of the vile tweets read: “Men you are leaving a generation of youth to be indoctrinated by Zionists.
“You can cry about how this interrupts your addiction, but if one person sees the truth then it is worth it.”
A previous member of Injekt Division was also repeatedly mentioned during the takeover of Riley’s account.
Tweets demanding the radical, who was arrested and charged with an alleged plot to shoot up a Walmart, be freed were also shared.
Horrified Riley has said hackers seemed to have carried out a SIM swap scam on her – which granted them access to her phone number and two-factor authentication for her accounts.
She told AVN that this meant the trolls had free reign over her social media as well as her Spectrum, Microsoft Office, Venmo, Amazon, and eBay accounts.
The mum-of-one said: “So they are getting all my texts, calls as well as two-factor authorization codes.
“The Twitter is horrible because it’s the only social media outlet I have been able to retain and grow for the last 10 years.
“It was the one place I always felt safe and now it’s just taken away by some hacker.
“This person is now posting horrible, hateful, disgusting posts. I am so embarassed by this and so sorry to anyone else who is affected by this.”
She urged pals to delete her phone number because it had been “compromised”.
“It’s so scary and I’ve been playing cat and mouse with this hacker since Saturday,” Riley added.
“It’s only gotten worse but I’m not giving up and I am determined to beat this hacker.”
She has since regained control of her account, but has been somewhat inactive since the incident.
But the neo-Nazis are now piggybacking off the back of their social media scandal and have produced a cringe propaganda video.
The clip boasting about hacking one of the world’s biggest porn stars is reportedly being shared across extreme-right forums, Facebook and YouTube.
An extremist can be seen standing alone in the forest before launching into a rant about pornography.
The video then cruelly cuts to footage of a distraught Riley sobbing about the hacking, before wrapping up with a demand for “capital punishment for pornographers.”
But the keyboard thugs are trying to display themselves as activists against X-rated stars rather than neo-Nazis.
The group try to spread antisemitic conspiracies that the adult industry is a Jewish plot to weaken society.
They want to hasten the fall of society in order to build a white ethnostate in its place, but their ideology has been built by a range of bizarre ideas.
Experts have previously described the unstructured and apparently small group as “amorphous” to Vice.
But it is feared that the radicals are connected to the larger network of accelerationist neo-Nazis.
Mike Stabile, communications director for adult industry advocacy group Free Speech Coalition, expressed his concern about the hack.
“The brutal attack on Riley absolutely worries me,” he said.
“It’s violent, it’s aggressive and it’s clear that they delight in her terror.
“It allows them to hijack a popular account to spread hate — particularly among a community that might be vulnerable to the message.”

Twitter to label tweets that get downranked for violating its hate speech policy
Twitter announced today a new policy that it claims will offer more transparency around which hateful tweets on its platform have been subject to enforcement action. Typically, when tweets violate Twitter’s policies, one of the actions the company can take is to limit the reach of those tweets — or something it calls “visibility filtering.” […]
Twitter to label tweets that get downranked for violating its hate speech policy by Sarah Perez originally published on TechCrunch
Twitter will label tweets limited due to hate policy violations
Twitter may have a looser stance on bans under Elon Musk, but it’s still willing to flag content that runs afoul of its rules. The social network will label tweets it believes are violating its Hateful Conduct policy. You’ll see a notice that Twitter is limiting the “visibility” of the problematic post with an opportunity to learn more.
The labels will cover more types of policy violations in the months ahead. Users can initially provide “feedback” on a label if they feel it was in error, but they’ll have to wait until sometime in the future to formally appeal decisions. The company stresses that the labels only apply to individual tweets, not an entire account.
We’re adding more transparency to the enforcement actions we take on Tweets. As a first step, soon you’ll start to see labels on some Tweets identified as potentially violating our rules around Hateful Conduct letting you know that we’ve limited their visibility. 🧵…

Twitter sees this as a reflection of its Musk-era “freedom of speech, not freedom of reach” philosophy where it more often shies away from outright bans in favor of limiting exposure to content. Theoretically, this prevents offensive speech from spreading without completely silencing users on the platform. It also promises greater transparency to address concerns of “shadow bans” that limit reach without someone’s knowledge. Musk has lifted bans on a number of high-profile accounts, including former President Trump’s, although it was willing to temporarily suspend Ye despite lifting a permanent ban in November.
The move might not please some. Advocacy groups have criticized Twitter for not doing enough to protect frequent targets of hate, such as the LGBTQ community. While offenders can still face bans if they’re “bad actors” or violate the law, they’re more likely to stay on the service. This also isn’t certain to satisfy advertisers leaving Twitter over concerns their ads may run alongside objectionable material. And while it will address concerns over possible censorship, it won’t necessarily please those who see labels as tarnishing a post’s worth.

I’m in my sixties and a proud cougar – haters are gonna hate, but I tell them to bring it on
A COURAGEOUS cougar has faced backlash for showing her skin, but she doesn’t let her haters stop her from doing what she loves.
As both a comedian and podcaster, Karen Lee Poter is not new to receiving criticism from angry, anonymous social media users.

The proud cougar has amassed over 90,000 followers with her confidence-boosting content[/caption]
On her TikTok page, the middle-aged woman has amassed over 90,000 followers with her confidence-boosting content.
She hasn’t shied away from controversial topics like sexual taboos and showing skin as an older lady.
Recently, she decided to address a comment from someone who goes by @peener10 on TikTok.
“These are not cougars,” the account commented on one of her videos. “These look like exhumed mummies.”
Poter was less than impressed with his feedback.
The proud cougar took hold of her camera and responded directly to the insulting comment.
“Thanks for spreading the lover peener,” Poter quipped as she sat in bed.
She pointed out that ‘Peener’s’ account had no followers, a tell-tale sign of a social media troll.
“Thank you for sharing your negative, hostile comments with someone who is upbeat and positive like myself and my friend.”
She threw the text “haters gonna hate” over her brief video.
She also wrote in the comments: “Haters? Bring ’em lol.”
Poter’s fans were quick to come to her defense in the comments section.
“Hey I think we all should enjoy our hobbies and I think you’re very entertaining and don’t let the no-sayers get you down… I like you!!!” one person commented.
Another follower couldn’t help but make a lighthearted joke out of the negative situation.
“I would wrap my arms around you like a mummy,” the jokester proclaimed.
Other people tried their best to lift Poter’s spirits following the ordeal.
“You are a sweetie!” a third commented.
