Sure, but doing that on someone else's account from your own IP address would fall under tremendously stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes it is possibly true and perhaps we should all backoff until such time as we know it not true. Will we ever know it is not true though?

No, not even close, it’s just Government Technology Services, they look after all the Governments I.T stuff, but they mostly have a reputation for telling folk the system is slow because that’s just the way it is and switching it on/off again will solve 90% of the problems and if/when something actually goes wrong, to call in a contractor to take a look. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual tweets have been locked down, but the replies are visible. It's fair to say that many of them are sceptical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladys Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 As it unfolds, it all becomes terribly sad. There are no winners here - The AG's family have had their bereavement belittled and ignored. And now at the heart of a social media shitstorm. You would just hope that in their grief and shock they are not witnessing this nonsense. RG has damaged her reputation, possibly beyond repair, first by the tweet, then not retracting it when it was pointed out to be inappropriate and not even now after she claims a hacked account. Whether it was hacked or not, an apology would be in order. None forthcoming. If the hacking was a futile attempt to cover her misjudged (putting it politely) tweet, then that raises even more issues. Just sad all round. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she has not been truthful, which I expect is the case as at no point has she posted that she has no idea whether the allegations posted by the "hacker" are true, then I think that is extremely damaging for her and her business as being able to rely on the honesty and integrity of scientists is extremely important in the profession. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
