Notorious 8chan Board Has History Wiped After Federal Judge's Doxing
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."
Your papers, please. You thought you were living in a free country? Ha! There are too many of you serfs now. We need to keep track of you with papers, please. Papers, please.
Is it illegal to use SSNs as ID numbers outside of the intended purpose of Social Security accounting? It's not really the government's fault that so many companies are so fucking stupid.
People don't like being doxed. Judges are people too.
Well, you don't get it, do you? Of course "People don't like being doxed", neither you, nor me. The thing is, being a judge changes dramatically the way "doxing" is dealt with. Double standard...
Slashdot, fix the reply notifications... You won't get away with it...
Trying to intimidate a federal judge is both a criminal act and a VERY bad idea.
The founding fathers were terrorists, you fucking twat. You're "against terrorism" because you're too scared to fuck with society, you hypocritical coward.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
It's obvious to everyone by now that the Slashdot editors have taken a passive aggressive stance towards Gamergate stories and submissions, using every opportunity to smear gamers and generally ignoring just about every even slightly neutral or nuanced aspect of the internet's biggest ever flamewar. Holy shit, News for Nerds, if ever there was news for nerds, it was Gamergate. Holy Fuck. The least the editors could have done was joked about it all.
But this shit? This is just straight up Propaganda, with a capital P. This obvious fucking bait that even the gamers and SJWs have almost completely ignored, ending up unironically on the front page. Propaganda for the New Age Fascists who have been shitting on both gamers and the entire tech sector for the last three years and who are fucking notorious for getting their SJW cult members to pull this false flag shit to try and get sites shut down.
I don't know what disgusts me more. Slashdot, the site that stood against censorship and SOPA, coming down on the site of the Moral Panic 2.0 hipsters calling for the internet wide censorship and controls. Or Slashdot, the site made by nerds, for nerds, coming down on the side of a transparent high school clique of social justice bullies who are ripping the tech sector apart at the seams.
Because for all their hysteria and anti-intellectualism, the SJWs are at the end of the day, fakers and posers who never cared about geeks, tech, or hobbies. But you guys, Slashdot eds and the shills in these threads, you were nerds once, and somewhere behind all the shame and self-loathing you've self-indoctrinated yourselves with, you know how wrong all this is. You know how hollow and hypocritical people like Shanley and Sarkeesian are, and you know that nerds, geeks, and techies are being bullied into submission by these people. You could have simply done nothing, but instead you've sided with some of the worst, most vicious, and most destructive trolls in the history of the internet. Shame on you. Shame on you all.
Thought For The Day: A heretic may see the truth and seek redemption. He may be forgiven his past and be absolved in death. A Traitor can never be forgiven. A Traitor can never find peace in this world or the next. There is nothing as wretched or as hated in all the world as a Traitor.

"Don't be so fucking naive. An ill-tempered judge is the most dangerous enemy you can possibly make. Once you are presented to them in hand-cuffs you are as fucked as a quarterback who pisses off a referee."
Don't be so fucking naive. An ill-tempered criminal is the most dangerous enemy you can possibly make. Once they know where you and your loved ones live, you are as fucked as a quarterback who pisses off a referee.
This needs to change. No one person should wield that kind of influence. NO ONE should fear the judge, they should only fear the law.
Good-bye
The legal system gives a lot of leeway for those who want to be dicks. It just doesn't abide those who are conspiring to break laws.
To back up my first point the video game scourge of a lawyer, Jack Thompson, generally made an ass of himself for over a decade before he managed to finally commit acts so horrible he was disbarred.
Judges are the symbolic head of our legal system, but the Juries make the decisions. So outing a Judge is just a way to symbolically strike back at the court system. It doesn't actually attack the people who made an decision in any criminal trial.
Attacking judges in this manner is akin to attacking doctors who work in abortion clinics. Whatever your position is on abortion, it was the woman who made the decision to abort, and the doctor is a paid servant carrying out her wishes.
Likewise, it was the Jury that convicted the criminals, and the Judge ensured that a minimal set of rules were followed so the case wouldn't take forever and both sides couldn't just start making stuff up.
That is why doxxing a Judge is low. Judges don't get to pick and choose which cases they get. They don't get to overturn a Jury verdict without risking their career. If they overturn a jury verdict, there is a documented legal reason, like a Juror stating that the evidence and rules say a person should be convicted but they're not going to convict because the don't care about the evidence and the rules.
To put this in perspective, the bailiff has a similar role as the Judge. The court reporter has a similar role as the Judge. The secretary down the hall has a similar role as the Judge.
If you really want to strike at the legal system, go after the politicians who stand up too many laws to actually be followed (and some believe it is too many to actually be counted). Go after the enforcement agencies that decide to pre-punish because Judges assured that in a balanced courtroom there was no evidence to convict and the person really shouldn't be detained any longer. Go after the doxxers who decide that without anything except misinformation and rage they can do something beneficial by harrassing (probably the wrong) people.
the double standard is that your occupation doesn't involve passing judgment on murders, rapists, mafia, and other assorted shitbags who have, and would, given the chance, engage in violent retribution on the judge or their family simply for doing his or her job
so yeah, double standard
a completely 100% appropriate double standard
directly reflecting the nature of their work, compared to the nature of your work
your "double standard" complaint is similar to complaining that a nuclear missile silo gets more protection than an outhouse
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
the greatest enemy to freedom is cynicism like yours
vile evil people can do many things to remove your freedom. but it's quite hilarious that some people, like you, roll over in quivering fear and give it up on your own. because you perceive the enemies of freedom to be so potent. they aren't. they are in your cowardly mind. not reality

if you think justice doesn't prevail, then whose side are you on in the end?
