Not an American, I genuinely struggled with whether this was satire or not. Not a great sign for a campaign video?
US voters are as prone to putting emotion over fact as anyone, this as won’t hurt him with anyone who might have voted for him and strengthens him with his base.
Does anyone have context on what the newspaper “hacked”? The video implies that some teachers’ SSNs were in plaintext on the HTML of a government site, I believe.
The newspaper informed the state of the problem and promised not to publish any story until the issue was fixed.

I'm reminded of Moldbug's call to build a more trustworthy source of truth (somewhat ironic, I know). The current zeitgeist is definitely a correction from how the mainstream media has been traditionally manipulating. But rather than appreciating more reliable sources, it seems that people are more interested in confirming their biases rather than confronting uncomfortable truths. I'm at a loss of how this can be reformed through grassroots information technology, besides taking steps to protect myself from whatever societal decay lies ahead.

My hacking tool of choice is curl.

He doesn't care about the truth, and would rather lie to his base to get reelected than do what's right. He is a disgrace to our society and should be prosecuted for this.
