We are investigating #DCblackout. We suspect it is misinformation spread by a botnet using BLM IDs and KPop / Anime profiles in order to incite panic and confusion. We are now using #DCsafe to study these accounts.
Okay, so here is what we know: #DCblackout edition.

-the overall goal of the campaign appears to be to instill panic & fear to deter future protests.
-no evidence that protestors have been killed.
-no evidence of a sustained internet cut off.
-DC people report things are normal.
Adding : #DCblackout edition.

-1/2 of protestors were arrested and the other half may be asleep. (don't panic, just wait.)
-We cannot tell the origin of the botnet that pushed this but they did pull a fast one on us for a minute and we apologise if we failed to spot them sooner.
