Seems to be still there for me? -- https://twitter.com/YourAnonNews

Read the update at the bottom stating the reason for the account suspension, and from that i would gather they had the account reinstated.

There have been more updates (and I can't find the reason) - why were they suspended?

I'm glad they are back. We need more people to stand up to religious fanatic hate groups like the Westboro Baptist morons.

"Hate group under the guise of religion." Fixed that for you. Sorry, but I've got no patience for religion-bashing on HN.

From TFA, it looks like it was because they published addresses.

I wonder if you will get your account blocked by publishing a Google Maps/Street View link right outside the person's house instead?

I know "if you ignore them, they will go away" is cliche, but it's really true for WBC. Don't organize counter-protests, just ignore them completely, and they will evaporate into the ether.

If it lets someone trivially figure out a private person's private information, yes.

There isn't a completely sharp dividing line between what's acceptable and what isn't, but that's true of most things in life.
