Notorious 8chan Board Has History Wiped After Federal Judge's Doxing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Friday February 13, 2015 @05:36PM from the wiping-it-clean dept.

AmiMoJo writes On Monday, imageboard site 8chan's "baphomet" subboard, an Internet destination known for hosting aggressive "doxing" posts, received a major history wipe the day after one of its users posted the personal information of a federal judge in the Silk Road case. A follow-up post by baphomet's "Board Owner" account stated that "HW," a reference to site founder Frederick "hotwheels" Brennan, deleted "the SSN posts" and told the baphomet board founder, previously identified via an associated Twitter handle as Benjamin Biddix, to "lay low." The same day baphomet's "Board Owner" announced a "doxing for hire" service due to "running low on funds."

Plenty of commentors here think Gamergate is mostly a bunch of raging douchecanoes, coward.

These days, if you protect yourself from a criminal, it's a tossup whether you will end up in jail.
Like Zimmerman, who hunted, chased, cornered, then shot and killed an unarmed non-criminal, and had no jail time?
