SMILE2NE1 3,566 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Spoiler CAVEAT - we are still clarifying the validity of these Tweets There is currently a trend on Twitter at the moment titled #DCBlackout because there have been multiple reports of: a) citywide signal jamming b) protestors being surrounded c) technology blackouts EDIT: these keep getting deleted by Twitter every few minutes, even in the time I am editing this thread... The above has been determined to be misinformation. - fatcat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creyk 18,691 Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Well I mean what did they expect, that the people in charge are not going to use advanced techniques to win?
