Occupy Wall Street activists sue over Twitter account

30 11 2014
On Wednesday, three years to the day since the beginning of Occupy Wall Street, one of its former leaders has sued another leader over a disputed Twitter account.

@OccupyWallStNYC has 177,000 followers, and it’s apparently controlled by Justin Wedes, a self-identified “educator and activist based in Detroit, Michigan” and a “founding member” of the New York City General Assembly. Wedes did not respond to Ars’ requests for comment.

According to the suit, which was filed by the OWS Media Group in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Wedes “hijacked” the account in early August 2014, “making himself the sole person in control of the Twitter Account.”
