Epilepsy Foundation Bombarded with Seizure-Triggering Twitter Posts
- The Epilepsy Foundation has filed a criminal complaint with the U.S. Attorney and the Office of the State’s Attorney in Maryland, against a number of Twitter uses who maliciously posted seizure-inducing content on its feed. This happened during November: National Epilepsy Awareness month. A similar attack happened in 2016 against journalist Kurt Eichenwald, which purportedly triggered a seizure.
- Aside: around 3% of people with epilepsy can be triggered by exposure to flashing lights or certain visual patterns.
