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

Still used in pediatrics in the UK. Just the BBC being the BBC.

If you tag a user of a subreddit then you are going to see them pop up all over the place. It's not necessarily indicative of a raid or brigade.

>also, there were 150,000 of them.

Probably explains why you saw tagged users 'invading' subs you use.

conversely puts the fastidiously litigious on trial too. No investment in either side, i think it's all pretty grim.

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. "Gamer" is conservative; virulently opposed to change or innovation except in very specific, rigidly-defined areas. "Gamer" is tribalistic; defining oneself in terms of one’s tastes and factional allegiances above all.""

Utter tripe.

Does this not depend on the NSA's rather dubious interpretation of 'collection' to mean 'collected but not actually analyzed by human eyes yet'?

Could you elaborate? I'd like to know the proper facts if this site is not providing them!
