Matthew Hopkins News
Matthew Hopkins News began its attacks on the Block Bot with a pair of videos. In the first, Hopkins notes the number of women and minorities added to the bot and legally harvests the block lists of GGAutoblocker, Blocktogether and The Block Bot using his bespoke 'Malleus Twitter' application.<ref>[http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=1118 The Block Bot, GG Auto Blocker and Block Together Get Crushed]</ref>.

==False Allegation of Harassment by Sarah Brown==
 
On 24/04/2015 Hopkins revealed that he had been served a UK Police 'harassment notice' arising from an allegation by a Block Bot team member Sarah Brown / @AuntySarah but published a letter from Cambridgeshire Constabulary proving it had been rescinded after an investigation by the police revealed it was not harassment. The story was damaging for Brown, who had resigned in disgrace from the Block Bot project.<ref>[http://matthewhopkinsnews.com/?p=1430 Cambridge Police Are Awesome, Rescind ‘Harassment’ Notice, Exonerate Witchfinder]</ref>
