'SHAME ON YOU'! Twitter slammed for 'absolutely unreal' response to conservative critic's account being hijacked; UPDATED

Wall Street Journal critic and Commentary critic-at-large Terry Teachout was minding his own business when someone — or, rather, someones — hacked his Twitter account over the weekend. Except they didn’t just hack it; they used it to post “obscene” tweets. And held it for ransom. Oh, and they called him on the phone multiple times.

Be that as it may, I feel more comfortable with this drastic solution: I simply don’t want to be associated with the old account any more.

Meanwhile, since Twitter’s in no rush to make this right, do Teachout — and yourselves — a favor:

Update:

Holy crap, it’s about damn time!

And all it took was bipartisan public shaming of Twitter on their own platform.
