What the hell is this travesty. Now any old nobody can kill a site by larping drama on fucking twitter.
You should all think about the people dying in dictatorships before you give up a free and open Internet over some paedophile using twitter clout to ban a gossip forum
He posted his number privately in order to facilitate an interview regarding the topic at hand. I'd argue publishing that is far more egregious than taking a selfie outside someones publicly listed place of work.
Either way they are both shitty behaviours, don't really think we need to take a one vs the other.
Perhaps the entrepreneurs amongst us don't like it when someone who the brutality of society would miscast as an ugly little man makes a site that isn't afraid of showing it's ugly side and garners moderate success in, if not financial but at least social acceptance and 'bootstrap' paradigms.
Frederick is an inspirational bloke and all these people casting aspersions on his character whilst lamenting m00t's departure for his cultural boldness, despite disagreeing with the content is pure hypocrisy.
Especially given the non-inclusive hate mob moniker attributed to GG by a genuinely terrible cabal of shoddy journalists and their transparent smears.
I believe common sense will prevail in all of this and there will be no victory fanfares or v-days - quietly the press will mature, the trolls will get bored and good websites and reporters will get justified clicks.
There's nothing naive and presumptuous about it in the least, it's an ethical violation that wouldn't fly by most professional standards and there are vast tracts of legal obligations most people adhere to which define those boundaries, no matter what a small group of hacks suppose.
fortunately the more responsible publications have already updated their policies and looked inwardly to prevent fucking up so publicly and obviously again. (We can hope at the least they won't soapbox to their readership that they are assholes for calling them out!).
What a load of old rot that consistently and wilfully avoids the very valid concerns about corruption and ethical question marks regarding certain game jams and charity drives in order to chuck a bunch of epithets around.
>""Gamer" says none of that. "Gamer" is selfish; preoccupied with one’s own pleasure over the advancement of the medium.

Without personal interaction and not to cast aspersions on a person I've not met, John Young has a reputation of being a bit of a firebrand, iconoclast and bombastic figure - however cryptome has operated for many years with a simple policy of publish docs deemed inappropriate for public view...
They intentionally make no judgement on the things they publish.
It is a note of importance however, to realise cryptome - in the case of most of these source documents - are serving as a host rather than linking to the original (guardian/WAPO/firstlook/der speigel etc.) websites, probably as much for posterity as for convenience.
I see little reason to question the veracity of the info provided on this site.
I remember the Napoli too, went and had a look out of curiosity. Also not heard of this Lego incident! Of course shipwrecks, and even wreckers have an illustrious history down here.
