Instead we're blaming the security cameras for revealing who robbed said bank because the bank robbers are our buddies.
- tedunangst 10y agoBut isn't the complaint more akin to complaining that the bank revealed the individual account balance for its customers? It shouldn't be necessary to do that to prove the bank was robbed.
- danmaz74 10y agoThe whole point is that those personal details had nothing to do with the robbery, and leaking them had nothing to do with revealing the robbery.
- Mikeb85 10y agoSo some of the bank robbers got doxxed? Since the furor is over HRC's campaign being bought by wealthy interests and conspiring with the DNC to beat Bernie, outing her donors does serve the public interest, though I'd argue they probably should have blanked out the CC numbers. Then again I don't know what the context is - if they were freely emailing CC numbers that's gross negligence, and on the DNC.
