I'd like to wonder what Aaron would be doing right now with Net Neutrality. He'd be at the forefront of all of these things against the Trump administration. He's the hero we need, that we deserve, but have tragically lost. RIP

He would be on the same side as Wikileaks like he always was. Libtards killed him because he was going to expose them and made the story about totally something else like they always do.

I dont see that connection at all. In fact, it is the 'benevolent' government that has abused surveillance, tried to corruptly enable large companies to censor the internet under the guise of 'anti-piracy' (SOPA), and pushed Aaron to suicide through prosecutorial overreach which Net Neutrality proponents want to grant more control over the ISPs over fear-mongering (like piracy) of prices/throttling. (despite the obvi…

So you think Aaron would be against net neutrality?

Yes, for obvious reasons. If they are not obvious to you, you have a lot to learn.

I didn't personally know Aaron but I've read a lot of his blog posts and I was extremely sad to hear about his passing.

His blog posts are filled with a lot of information, insights, and thoughts that I usually don't get from other people. Whenever I go back and read his posts, they sound like a friend of mine talking to me.

Mm, yes and no. It's one of those things where if you reveal you have them, you feel like less of a person. People look at you differently. Be honest: If you were in a position of authority, would you place someone with known suicidal tendencies in a position of power? What if things went very badly? How about someone with outbursts of anger, or serious sleep issues that prevent them from showing up to work on time?…

> Aaron had some political aspirations, and a felony conviction would've precluded him from running for certain offices. Maybe that, combined with his internal issues, may have made him feel like less of a person. I don't know. If you don't know then don't speculate.

You are willing to hinder conversation because you simply don't know?

All hate speech people are violating freedom of speech. Why someone would like to be against mainstream opinions? Lock them up!

Facebook, twitter and google are the mainstream biggest outlets. Why someone would call them "fake news"?

Google fired whole lot of hate speech people from they organisation. They simply needed to go out with they outraged, damaging opinions.

Lock them all up. Let's keep Germany clean of hateful speech and let's get rid of so called "freedom of speech" also.
