Holy hell! Looking at the supporters page (https://www.pardonsnowden.org/supporters https://www.pardonsnowden.org/supporters) I do have to admit that they've acquired support from some people that I never thought to see there, like Steve Wozniak, Noam Chomsky, and George Soros.
- hughperkins 10y agoAccording to the comment just above yours, those "signatures" are unauthenticated?
- rspeer 10y agoThis isn't about signatures or authentication, the site says outright that those people are supporters.
- floatrock 10y ago> the site says outright that those people are supporters. With no citation. I can make a site say anything I want it. Credibility comes when you can point to other sites saying the same thing.
- rspeer 10y agoNow you're claiming something different. hughperkins was using a "security mindset", and was implying that the site, due to lack of authentication, was being tricked into showing "George Soros" as a supporter because it just let anybody type in "George Soros". This is not the case. The page of supporters is a page they designed, with no user input. The site is making the explicit claim that George Soros, that George Soros, is a supporter. If you believe the site is lying, no amount of authentication on the site's side is going to fix that!
- quirkafleeg 10y agoYou're surprised to see Chomsky there?
- JMCQ87 10y agoThe only one I find surprising among those three is Soros. He's a pretty Janus-faced individual though in general, so... maybe shouldn't even find that surprising anymore.
