Making it happen furthers the agenda of “Grrr, we’re psychopaths!” Letting it happen futhers the agenda of “Grrr, they’re psychopaths!” Just a guess…
There’s a decent chance they’ll just be incompetent enough to have technical issues with the stream even without any outside interference
The United States. Where we allow children to watch public executions.
One of the many reasons you go to the fucking polling booth and fill in the box most likely to prevent conservatives from having any level of power.
the only hacker group who can save us now are the gay furry hackers 🏳️🌈

they need buffs from the Etsy witches
Maybe. Criminals don’t typically announce their crimes ahead of time though. Sometimes they do but there are plenty of reasons not to.
Lol. I agree. Kind of like how the US announces war plans before implement.
All the OG Anonymous guys were arrested and turned snitch, no one else has the principles to take up the mask.
Principles, skills and guts. Intelligence agencies are no doubt much more actively looking for the formation of such groups now as well.
It feels like a Ddos would be effective. I’d hope that no one wants to see this but there might already be issues with bandwidth especially with this inept gaggle of buffoons.
I have the feeling the Trumpler administration will televise this in such a way that even a DDoS would be ineffective.
Is that really an option now the Russian botnet is dead? /s
They’d just claim the stream was very popular
I mean… there’s hacker groups out there, and there’s people who are opposed to the livestream, so obviously there’s some groups that’d want to shut it off.
The main issue is that the means of doing so are… pretty unlikely to exist or be possible to figure out how to exploit in time before it’s over.
Realistically, they’d have to find a way to shut off all internet connectivity via every possible method to wherever it’s being streamed from, which is pretty unlikely. (would require someone to physically dig underground and cut off any copper/fiber optic lines, then also find a way to illegally and without being fox hunted use a signal jammer that blocks every single cellular signal, and also take down any satellite-based internet dishes)
The alternative is if they can somehow, within the duration of the livestream, identify which device on all of the internet is streaming to whatever platform is hosting the stream (its IP wouldn’t be exposed to anyone other than the company hosting the stream), then also find vulnerabilities that would allow them into the device, or have the DDoS capacity to saturate the network that specific device is connected to (while also being able to do the same to every single possible backup device or network link that’s available)
So no, realistically, probably not.
Dangerous, but (likely social, but supply chain could work) hacking the camera(s) to go down at the critical time would work. Also make them look like the numptys they are. Bonus points if they substitute AI and you out them on it.
There’s a weirdly high number of right-wing nutjobs in tech.
The Anonymous like groups are Right Wing and want the execution as a “You’re Next!” warning to minorities
