A DDoS MEANS DOT-SOCIAL *IS* A NEWS SOURCE
popularity isn’t the №1 reason a site is DDoSed. TRUST IN THE VERACITY OF YOUR INFORMATION is why you get attacked.
back in the day, one of my sites became popular in India as a source of reproductive rights info. was DDoSed for days until it was blacklisted on Google-India and added to corporate web filters. why? because my readers trusted me in giving them accurate info.
a DDoS is #warfare against #trust #veracity and the truth

Analysis Summary
The post argues that DDoS attacks target trustworthy information sources rather than just popular sites, using a personal anecdote about her reproductive-rights site being attacked in India. The core claim—that DDoS attacks are motivated by suppressing credible information—aligns with documented patterns of attack on health and rights websites in countries with censorship pressure. What's not addressed: the post refers to dot-social facing a DDoS (the threaded context) but doesn't explain what makes dot-social specifically a news source worth attacking, leaving the connection between her anecdote and the current event somewhat abstract.
Claims Analysis (3)
“popularity isn't the №1 reason a site is DDoSed. TRUST IN THE VERACITY OF YOUR INFORMATION is why you get attacked”
DDoS attacks target trust/credibility as motivation, but multiple motives exist. Stated as absolute but generally accurate.
“one of my sites became popular in India as a source of reproductive rights info. was DDoSed for days until it was blacklisted on Google-India and added to corporate web filters”
Personal anecdote from 2006+ (pre-Mastodon era). Plausible but cannot independently confirm specifics of her site or attack.
“a DDoS is #warfare against #trust #veracity and the truth”
Analytical opinion about DDoS motivation and impact. Framed as interpretation, not factual claim.
