Somehow I'm not holding my breath for this gal to be prosecuted under the CFAA. And then people wonder why the global right is rejecting the idea of the rule of law...

Considering that she, the act, and the targeted site are in Germany, that's a fair bet.

This is how it is done, the hacker ‘Martha Root’ dressed as the pink power ranger and hacked white supremacist dating sites, stole their data, took down their sites and then proceeded to DOX members by making a map with members locations and information around the world.

You do understand that if their side does the same, you won't have any kind of moral high ground to stand on because you have already condoned stooping to their level?

I think the side that isn’t full of white supremacists would have the moral high ground by default.

Applying the CFAA - an American law - to German citizens on German soil for a German crime would be disrespect to the rule of law. The Germans get to decide what they want to do here, and use their own laws if they see fit.

Wow, this comment was so hard to read with the something something which made me think it was condescending From what I can tell your comment about: You are talking about paradox of tolerance ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance )

That's correct. They are talking about the paradox of tolerance.

The difference is... one of these colors is the only one that has centuries of privilege and power, a lot of times used violently, and the only one claiming victimisation when someone mentions "how about equality/equity, or even just acknowledging the privilege you have?".

It seems to be a thing of decorum not to explicitly say "I will only date $color people". Saying those words out loud or joining this site exposes you as someone with an inferiority complex whose only answer is arrogance about a shared identity.

And let's be real, members of those sites are probably not just "expressing their dating preferences", but probably have that inferiority complex that racists have. Does this theory apply to the other colors? Perhaps...
