As one of the donors included in this hack, I am not entirely sure what they're out to accomplish. Despite eye-rolling media mischaracterizations of these truckers as you-know-whats, it's a run of the mill workers strike. It has also been extremely peaceful and frankly comical at times. (We can contrast this with the "fiery yet mostly peaceful protests" of 2020 that negatively affected working class neighborhoods and…

I thought these protests were negatively affecting working class neighborhoods as well by honking horns during the night? I’m not holding a strong opinion on the subject but it’s kind of silly bias to compare this to blm with your phrasing.

Blacks have been through much much worse for hundreds of years, so the truckers going through troubling times for 2 years doesn’t really justify the comparison.

Isn’t this freedom? The right to donate and the right to know who did? Aren’t these donations considered speech (US centric)? Or it only distasteful when your speech and opinion is public? I support very robust free speech perspectives and freedom of speech rights, but there are also consequences for our speech (and the protections, in the US at least, are from your government only).

One of the four pillars of ethical journalism is minimizing harm. Knowing if there are big and powerful donors may be important to surface, but outing your neighbors has no journalistic upside. It's all about tribe vs tribe at that point. If you publish this and target the mob at ordinary people, you deserve to be forced out of the profession, in my opinion.

Where are the "ethical journalists" trying to publish the donors of...

Wayback machine has taken snapshots of GoSendGone including the csv.

What is GoSendGone?

GiveSendGo is what he meant. All these guys are mixed up about the name.

I guess that's what counts as hacktivism these days. Doxxing working class people and their supporters. It's nice to see the left and right's true colors here and how easily they pulled back the veil of opposition to reveal their true contempt for the lower classes and the real class war underpinning everything. These last two years, I have seen so much scary authoritarianism from well-meaning people using their own…

Being objective here: - 90 percent of Canada's truckers are vaccinated, so why are you using working class as a substitute for protestor, then using that to call this class warfare? - Don't you think working class people will care most about this list? The people with the most time to scour lists and make angry tweets probably most likely aren't UHNW individuals... - Don't you see the irony is claiming authoritariani…

> then assigning morality based on party orientation? Somehow painting the right as working class victims, and the left as upper class aggressors?

Actually you read that into that based on your own biases. I was deliberate _not_ to do this specifically. The establishment media and government mouthpieces, both left and right, have demonized the shit out of this protest and painted them as nazis, terrorists or any other fear word they can get away with.

Truly independent journalists have been painting a very different picture by doing the things that traditional media won't do: long form interviews with protestors and ordinary Ottawans.

The police handled these protesters with kid gloves compared to how they treat pipeline protesters, all under Trudeau junior.

So far and only because they didn't have strategies in place to deal with events, which they will ultimately frame as a 'insurrection', make examples of people, shame and doxx them as a dark warning to others to to try this in future

What do you mean, they don't have strategies? Billy clubs, steel toe boots, rubber bullets, pepper spray and tear gas on day 1. Haul the truckers out of their cabs, flanked by SWAT troopers with assault weapons. Drag 'em out by their hair. They've got tons of practice doing that already. Why did the police wait for an injunction this time? Why did it take weeks to secure that injunction?

It's also dark that people respond to being governed by someone they didn't vote for by blockading their country's economy. And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

> And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

I am somewhat puzzled by this take. Consider how much people donate to people in other countries that they've never met and in which they've never voted. Consider how much people donate to content creators that they want to support (youtube, substack, etc.). Consider that there are currently several fundraisers on GoFundMe for the people of Ukraine, who are afraid of an invasion — also, presumably, from people from other countries. Why are the donations to the truckers by the people who are sympathetic to their cause any darker?

I went through the leaks last night and they're wrong about the IP addresses. All of the IP addresses listed are internal to the service itself- they recorded the IP addresses of their own nodes (or possibly cloudflare edge nodes), and they're all from one of a few ranges or localhost. The email addresses, names, country and zip codes all seem legit though.

The IP addresses in the leak appear to show all of them (or at least most) as being Class B private addresses (172.16. . )

Irrelevant to my actual opinion of the whole protest, I find this fact hilarious.

And somewhat sad…true tech literacy will never be reached I guess.

If you're going to attack "media mischaracterizations" let's be truthful.

> but because white collar, work-at-home employees are mildly inconvenienced for a week, they're advocating police action against them and calling it an insurrection.

"Mildly inconvenienced" is an interesting term for shutting down a border crossing that handles $350 million in trade per day.

"Mildly inconvenienced" is an interesting term for residents having to put up with medically unsafe volumes of horn honking all throughout the nights. Some had brought train horns and were blaring those.

We're "calling it an insurrection" because that is a stated objective of the organizers, to overthrow the elected government of Canada. The fact that this is being encouraged and funded in large part by Americans is frankly, while unsurprising, an overtly hostile act being done to an ally.
