The Battle Between Anonymous and the KKK
The hacker group Anonymous said it would unmask members of the KKK 鈥� but did their operation live up to the hype? Plus, a story about cooking and sexual harassment in Brazil.
The hackers group Anonymous released the names of hundreds of people they say are members of the white supremacist Ku Klux Klan. It comes after a public relations campaign by Anonymous conducted mostly on social media. But what happens when hackers get it wrong? 大象传媒 Trending speaks to a woman who got caught up in the online war who says she was falsely labelled as a KKK sympathiser.
We also look at what happened in Brazil after a 12-year-old contestant on cooking competition Masterchef Junior was harassed online. The incident prompted feminist Juliana de Faria to create a campaign for women to share their first experiences of sexual harassment. Thousands of women joined the debate and shared their stories online.
