Though the site was launched a month ago, the fake reports came flooding in on the eve of the bill’s enactment. One TikTok user said they had submitted 742 fake reports of the governor Greg Abbott getting illegal abortions.
In a tongue-in-cheek caption, the user encouraged others to do the same: “It would be a shame if TikTok crashed the ProLifeWhistleBlower website”.
Redditors said they had submitted reports blaming the state of Texas for facilitating abortions by having highways that allow people to travel to the procedure.
“Wouldn’t it be so awful if we sent in a bunch of fake tips and crashed the site? Like, Greg Abbott’s butt stinks,” one TikTok creator said.
Another TikTok user showed how he uploaded Shrek memes claiming they were images proving “my wife aborted our baby 4 weeks into her pregnancy without my consulting me”. Meanwhile, other users encouraged people to upload image attachments containing various kinds of porn.

An activist who goes by the name Sean Black said he programmed a script to submit reports en masse on the website automatically.
Black, who describes himself as a “regular college student from North Carolina”, has released a Python script and an iOS shortcut for less tech-savvy to send thousands of reports a day.
He said his data shows nearly 8,000 people have used the Python code and 9,000 have used the iOS shortcut. Others have been inspired by his coding against anti-abortion advocates, saying collaborators across the US are working with him on 10 “active branches” of new features in the tool.
Someone pointed out on :reddit-logo: but if you're doing this, don't just flood it with bullshit that takes like 2 seconds to delete, but credible stuff that is an actual fake lead they have to investigate.

can someone drop a link to that auto-poster tho? always down to brigade the government
Just a reminder that you can use this script I wrote to autofill in the form—been running this via cron for days now. It randomly selects combinations of things, so for each location/county/story/name etc you can set your own lists! You just need Python and playwright (Microsoft's frontend testing bot, great for webscraping!)
EDIT: Looks like GoDaddy just informed this site that they're breaking Terms of Service and have 24 hours to find a new web host. :crab-party: :crab-party: :crab-party:
Can I run it on a raspberry pi through the tor network? Also probably a good idea to use less easily filtered data.
Absolutely it can, it's just a tiny Python script. Yeah I just wanted to get an easy script up and running, as far as the data goes you can modify it any which way to something much more realistic.
I'll modify it this weekend and see if I can get it ready to run in like a docker image or something. Release it as an app lol
Just 24/7 spamming the hotline through tor
I've already gotten blocked on my home IP and tons of VPNs (I use Mullvad) so they're definitely being overloaded. They have a GoDaddy Firewall on that is set to "paranoid" level of security lol.
Very mixed feelings about spamming using real places. As the whole goal of this bill is to bury clinics in bullshit lawsuits. Whose to say they won’t file bogus claims?
I think a good alternative would be (since the form field is clinic or doctor) would be to look up actual anti-abortion doctors licensed in Texas and use their names.
Every single person involved should be charged with assisting first degree homicide.
Fucking disgusting how you subhuman filth can laugh at literal murder of human beings that will be more than you ever were.
So if I came over to your mother's basement and murdered you it would be okay because you're nothing?
It decided to log out instead of hog out like a little snowflake coward
I hope they track your IPs and arrest you pieces of shit for hindering criminal persecution of murder
this is the most pathetic version of trolling i've ever seen
