An online anti-trans stalker group is chasing victims around the world, & their list of targets is growing.
But now, as the site’s users launch a wave of anti-trans attacks, a trans Twitch streamer targeted by the group is spearheading an unprecedented campaign to take down the fringe website.
Clara Sorrenti and those supporting her are hoping to open up the group to debilitating virtual attacks by demanding Cloudflare, one of its internet security service vendors, drop the site. Cloudflare has so far refused to budge.
We should spread the word to our friends & internet services providers to boycott Cloudflare until the illegal hate group's website is taken down.
The group often features social media pictures of their targets’ friends and family, along with contact information of their employers. The information is used in an effort to get their targets fired or socially isolated by spreading rumors & lies that they are criminals... such as rapists, predators, or violently dangerous.
On Wednesday, Alex Kaplan, the senior researcher at Media Matters, reported that trolls from the online group, with support from other far-right influencers, began a campaign to clog up suicide hotlines for The Trevor Project, which is meant to help LGBTQ+ youth who are considering self-harm.
