I disapprove of this kind of article. These useful rubes are not powerful masterminds. Why go on a witch hunt to hold a 19 year old responsible, when meanwhile Mark “they trust me dumbfucks” Zuckerberg is left off the hook for his teenage improprieties?

You are assuming these people were just following procedure. This is not accurate. There is at least one case where data was taken and intended to be improperly used at a private company. These people are more than useful rubes. They actively committed unethical (if not illegal) acts.
They were following the procedure they were ordered to follow. They were doing exactly what they were meant to be doing. And a lot of people on HN were enthusiastically supportive of what they were doing. Even the illegal stuff. Especially the illegal stuff. Odd how back then DOGE were "bold, brilliant patriots doing what was necessary to cut government waste and drain the swamp" and now they're innocent naive babes…

Hey you gotta start being scum somewhere if you think tearing down democracy is a good idea or “teaching a lesson” to your fellow citizens through destruction. They earned all the titles coming their way. Scum is the nicest thing we can call them.
> Hey you gotta start being scum somewhere Can you tell me when it started? Because I don't think this is the first time I've seen these kinds of problematic comments from you.
You shouldn’t tell people they’re not allowed to be upset, because doing so is problematic behavior anywhere.
