Other members of DOGE are getting dissected for past racist posts, but I personally think that's a lot less interesting and concerning than the historical leak allegations against this dude. DOGE will fire everybody except their own people. I think that double standard drives even more interest.

I'd feel better about this effort if they just benched the kid and replaced him with someone else. DOGE of all people should know that people are replaceable. Why did they put him specifically, with all that baggage, inside a cybersecurity agency? This doesn't feel right.

If only they bothered to do a real background check

He wasn't interacting with them as a researcher does. He was working for them as an employee. And then they fired him and accused him of leaking, and publicly humiliated him.

No one even knows what this kid is doing inside CISA's network!!

no government backdoor necessary when you join very large crime group chats and try to buy illegal services

Teenage gangs forming on the internet and thats what they call themselves now

They call themselves "the com"

They call themselves "the com"

I think the difference is in the kind of positions the "second chance" people get hired to. They aren't put in positions where they could cause significant wide scale harm with no auditing or barriers.

The debate isn't whether he should go to jail. The debate is whether he should get a clearance for some of the most powerful access someone can possibly get. He's not suitable. Why can't Musk replace him? He's just a kid.

These efforts have deterrence value

Spammers have filed free speech lawsuits to try to get blocks taken down.

That affected party looks like more than just an "independent journalist". They look like a kook that probably did something to deserve it. Can we please have some actual "free speech" that isn't another boring fig leaf for crime?

>1. I think the postal service does. Can you find me guidelines to the contrary?

How about instead, you show us a postal service guideline that says they have to deliver mail that they know to be harmful. There is no such guideline. That's insane.

Their personal information is plastered all over Kiwifarms so it's pretty easy to find.

Because it's linking to victims dox which would get your account banned on any reasonable website. The homepage is kiwifarms.st currently, and if you're on the fence I would encourage you to check it out for yourself and ask yourself if this is OK, and if a provider should be forced against their will to support this.

There is a lot of dox on Kiwifarms and I am not linking directly to it and getting my HN account banned. You have to look for it yourself. Don't wait around.

Russian malware authors agree with you.

This is literally what's happening here. No one is cutting off the admin's personal Internet connection to get on the Internet. They're taking his website down because it's full of abuse.

They post people's home addresses. Calling it gossip is a lie.

>An organization making a claim is not evidence of the claim being true.

Only the claims you like are claims you will accept as true

Just look at the site and stick to the facts

>and has always complied with legitimate takedown requests.

Then why do people who issue takedown requests get plastered all over the site and harassed?

Go on the kiwifarms website itself and ask yourself if it's okay/legal to be posting this manner of personal information on harassment victims. Make your own determination from the original source. Ask yourself if an infrastructure company should be forced against its will to support this.

No one is going to link to victim dox in a public HN thread. It would get our accounts banned and also further victimizes these people who were harassed by the site. Thank you for looking at the site for yourself.

You probably need to dig deeper into the kiwifarms website before you conclude things alleged about it are untrue.

Thank you for putting the effort in. I can't in good faith link to these people's dox in a comment here just to prove this to you. I would also get banned off this site for doing so.

So is harassment and stalking.

It's on the kiwifarms homepage

>Lolcows are people with eccentric behavior who can be "milked" for entertainment.

the "milking" is harassment

Banning based on complaints by recipients of the calls is also different from banning based on some sort of automated monitoring without any complaints.

Kiwifarms generated complaints.

The original name of kiwifarms was "CWCki", and CWC are the initials of their first victim. The entire premise of the site was harassment of a severely autistic person to trigger "funny" reactions. It's beyond gross.
