The anti-porn neo-Nazi group used her Twitter account to post antisemitic conspiracy theories. A neo-Nazi group that considers themselves an “extremist alternative to the 12-step program” hacked the account of one of the world’s most popular porn stars and used it to spread violent racism, try to recruit from her millions of followers, and demand the release of a member who plotted to shoot up a Walmart. In early April, the 2.3 million people who follow Riley Reid on Twitter were greeted with an image of a syringe on a dark flag and violently racist posts instead of the adult images they may have been expecting. The account had been fully taken over by a neo-Nazi representing Injekt Division, a small and bizarre neo-Nazi group. For three days the neo-Nazis ran the account and used it to attempt to recruit from Reid’s fan base and spread their hate and the spread antisemitic conspiracies that pornography is a Jewish plot. “Men you are leaving a generation of youth to be indoctrinated by Zionists,” they posted to her millions of followers. “You can cry about how this interrupts your addiction, but if one person sees the truth then it is worth it.” The neo-Nazis utilized the hacking to make a propaganda video which is now being shared across the extreme-right on Facebook, extremist forums, and YouTube. In it, a neo-Nazi stands alone in a forest and rambles on about pornography and then cuts to a video of a distraught Reid sobbing about the hacking. The video has begun to be shared in some online communities where the neo-Nazi message is stripped and the group is presented as mere “anti-porn activists.” The propaganda video ends with a demand for “capital punishment for pornographers.”
