This is JUST the kind of "transparency" he advocates.
A group of self-righteous vigilantes, who are all virgins, have stolen data and posted it on the "Black Web" for all to see. If some people kill themselves, well, they deserved it.
IF I'M BEING HONEST, it would be hypocritical of me to come down TOO hard on these snotty bastards. I've taken the law into my own hands dozens and dozens of times. Whether it's expedient, whether it's out of impatience, or whether it's a fine outlet for hostility, I've played Robin Hood or FBI Raider or whatever. BUT...I wouldn't boast about taking down a legit website on the grounds of...what is it this time? Oh yes, it's because they're "Cheating Dirtbags." Which is a variation on "Freedom of Speech."
You can rationalize most everything. That's no big trick. But when you have the POWER OF THE INTERNET and anonymity and apathy, you can become quite the obnoxious pain in the ass. That pain in the ass spreads to become a huge headache when the jerks involved actually have the nerve to think they are HEROES.
No, actually they don't think they're HEROES, they think they're VILLAINS. They're each a Darth Vader. They get this rush of POWER. It's like the fucking Swedish meatballs of Pirate Bay, who didn't call themselves heroes, just PIRATES, ahar ahar ahar. Robin Hood didn't strut around saying, "If you don't do everything I tell you, I'll kick ass." The ultimatums and brags of Anonymous and that bunch, sound way too close to the ultimatums and brags of ISIS.
It's just Little Hitlers and arrogant Mussolinis using the wonderful new weapon of hackery...nerdish antics from the safety bunker of mommy's basement.
The brats here justify part of their actions by claiming that Ashley Madison is a rip-off site, because (they claim) many of the profiles are fakes. Really? Written by Ashley Madison staffers? You kiddos could've taken your exclusive to the London Daily Fail and gotten jobs as reporters if this was true.
Why not hack Mr. I. Duncan Smith or Mr. Donald J. Trump? Because the idea of sexual hook-ups makes you jealous? Because you figure Ashley Madison is an easy target that won't fight back? There's always a rationalization.
"Hey, Jennifer Lawrence is a slutty dirtbag. She let her boyfriend take dirty pictures of her. THEREFORE, we should invade her privacy, hack her computer, and we should ALL be able to see her dirty pictures!" The logic, please?
"Hey, I run Wikileaks and make a fortune off it. What I need is new material every day. So I decide the United States Government should be hacked and all their secrets put on MY website. I wouldn't do that to Putin, of course, or North Korea. I wouldn't hack Iran to find out where their secret bomb-making labs are. The main thing is I can play spy, but if anyone else does, that's not right." The logic, please?
All we have are opportunists, brats and anarchistic punks wearing Halloween masks, usually the faggoty ones with a big-nosed big-chinned Punch-puppet version of the great Guy Fawkes on it.
I despise the Ashley Madison site. The fucking chutzpah of marketing "cheating" as honorable, or just "naughty fun" is repugnant. You don't see "Victoria's Secret" selling underwear with slogans like, "Perfect for enticing a married man," or "Great when you cheat on your husband." But it's also fucking chutzpah to have the nerve to take the names, addresses and CREDIT CARDS and post it all, creating absolute chaos and costing millions of dollars in damage and potentially leading to murders and suicides. "They do it because they can," and they can because assholes like Assange, Bezos and the Google bunch have made Internet companies so powerful governments don't dare to do the right thing and prosecute hackers, seize control of rogue websites, or storm the Ecuadorian Embassy and drag a smirking criminal off to jail, kicking his ass every inch of the way.
