The second amendment is one of the few exceptions rather than the rule. It is difficult to argue for inclusion in "the people" who have the right to bear arms when excluded from selective service and from the definition of the unorganized militia.

By your logic women unaffiliated with service are excluded then. The unorganized militia, by US code, is (you can look up the code but this is pretty close) basically able bodied military age male citizens. Throwing in all these constraint when the constitution clearly say "the people" without qualification which magically means basically everyone one place but not most everyone somewhere else seems kind of arbitrary…

State law in the state where I live defines the unorganized militia without regard to sex.

At least the 7th circuit agrees with you, (United States v. Meza-Rodriguez) even if there are other federal appeals circuits that don't. So this is something that will likely go to the Supreme Court eventually.

Apropos of nothing, I also just really appreciate crimew.gay's aesthetic. This website is what me from 1993 thought a hacker's website would look like. A nod of respect to them for kickin' it old-school.

Laws are written to protect multibillion corporations and billionaires. Prove me wrong. If we truly lived in a sane society, companies with lax security and god awful security policies would be punished.

Depends on the country. Mine was founded by some overseas family that can still come over and start telling us what to do as they please. So uhhh, yeah, can confirm, Canada’s laws basically revolve around keeping old money wealthy without providing any value to anyone.

The British Crown hasn't had real power since 1649, but please continue complaining about nothing.

maia[0] (it/she pronouns) is almost certainly aware of that this is illegal, and has been indicted by a grand jury for other government hacks. shodan[1] is a search engine that deals in hosts and ip addresses rather than web pages, and is a goldmine for finding everything from exposed ip webcams to jenkins instances.

US law is neither a universal law nor an international one. Accessing computer systems owned by a US company based in the US might constitute a violation of US law, but the hacker is based in Switzerland - where US law does not apply. As you can see in the linked Wikipedia article, accessing these systems is probably not illegal in Switzerland, thus, for all intents and purposes, no crime was committed.

Legalities aside, it's morally wrong to hack a server, disregard reasonable disclosure, and publish (even to a selected group) an in-depth list of personal information; all for political reasons! (at least going off what their Wikipedia page describes as their motivations).

So it’s OK for individual vigilantes to punish them, am I right?

> Suspected members of the IRA, the Irish paramilitary organization, were also on the list. Oof the international politics always come out in things like this. Twitter also publicizes all of its suspensions and bans. There's a Wikipedia article with a list of all the notable suspensions since 2010. It's interesting to see that, contrary to popular narratives, many of the international groups banned were actually far-…

A list that details primarily terrorists having terrorists listed on it. Colour me surprised.

Really not. Most sentences can be easily rewritten without pronouns. I know a bunch of trans people and have trouble remembering who likes to be called what, so I just reduced the number of direct references. It's not that hard to do, because most conversations don't involve so many subjects that it becomes complex.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Sounds difficult.

That's the reply I should have given to your complaint about 'breaking the English language'.

There is very little if anything similar between the subject and Aaron Swartz

Exactly. There is a whole infrastructure of sympathizer-nuts, similar to US politics.

So if I leave my front door unlocked, I should go to jail when someone steals from me? What nonsense.

Fiduciary responsibility [1] is closer to the concept that applies here in my opinion. Companies have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the company and thus the investment in the company for the investors and shareholders.
