Senator Grassley’s Twitter whoopsie
Proving yet again that elected politics and Twitter are a dangerous mix (Exhibit A: Anthony “terrible mistakes” Weiner), Senator Chuck Grassley is fending off a Twitter hijack this morning. The attacker took a few shots at the PIPA/SOPA mess — Grassley co-sponsored PIPA and was for it until he flipped sides last week — before publishing the account’s alleged password (“chuck123”) and inviting the twitterhordes to go nuts with it.
Hey lobbyists: When you’re explaining to Congress “how the Interwebs work,” how about throwing in a “password protection 101” rundown? -Stacy
Letting these people write laws that affect the Internet is like letting a blind person write a law about what color you can paint your house.
