Reuters deputy social media editor Matthew Keys already had more than 23,000 Twitter followers, but there’s almost certainly never been more anticipation for one of his tweets. Keys was charged today with conspiring with Anonymous to hack into a Tribune Company server; hackers then defaced the Los Angeles Times website.
Legally speaking, it’s probably best for Keys to hold off on tweeting for a bit, but he did retweet a tweet by @BreakingNews announcing his indictment before posting an update of his own.
@gabosama Yeah… and @TheMatthewKeys just RT'ed a link about the charges against him?

Keys has also been favoriting selected tweets about his indictment.

As for Reuters? The company issued its own story at 7:15 p.m., noting that “Keys could not immediately be reached for comment.” Try Twitter?
