BBC defended its decision, but the hacktivists are not pleased

The infamous hacktivist collective threatened the BBC after the company censored the word “Palestine” in a video.

TeaMp0isoN is known for supporting the Palestinian cause, hacking and defacing the websites of those who oppose the country’s freedom.

After seeing a PressTV report in which BBC defends its decision to censor the word “Palestine” in a video that features the rapper Mic Righteous, TriCk, the leader of TeaMp0isoN, decided that such behavior can’t be tolerated.

“Expect us BBC,” TriCk said.

“The BBC has defended the decision to censor the word, which it says was on the basis that implying that Palestine is not free is contentious,” PressTV reports.

This wouldn’t be the first time TeaMp0isoN hacks a media website. Not long ago they breached and defaced a subdomain of the Daily Mail, accusing them of “poisoning the mainstream media.”
