China Claims U.K. Envoy’s Twitter Account Was Hacked After ‘Liking’ Pornographic Video

The old “I didn’t do it, I was hacked,” excuse.

The Twitter account of Liu Xiaoming, China’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, on Wednesday “liked” a pornographic video. This “like” reportedly remained visible for more than an hour before it was removed, the Agence France-Presse reported. While it was up, it garnered “a stream of comments and reactions.”
