Where exactly does the author describe himself as "the next Aaron Swartz?" The only comparison I found was that the article draws parallels between Gottesfeld's and Swartz's cases since both are being prosecuted by Carmen Ortiz and the article is claiming similar to Swartz, the prosecutors are again abusing the CFAA and trying to "make an example of" Gottesfeld.

- int_handler 10y agoWhere is the evidence that this title was written by the author of the article rather than just the poster of the article?
- grzm 10y agoI'm not sure what you're asking. Clicking through to the Huffington Post article, the title is "How The U.S. Marshals And Bureau Of Prisons Are Trying To Break My Hunger Strike", and the last portion of the URI is how-the-us-marshalls-bureau-of-prisons-are-trying_us_586abd7be4b068764965c3af This indicates that the Huffington Post article title hasn't changed, as generally URIs don't change even if article titles do. As for the submission title original submission title "Aaron Swartz Redux -- The Man Carmen Ortiz Is Trying to Kill Next", that was submitted by the poster. See this comment from 'sctb when he updated the title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13306320 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13306320 Is this what you're asking? If not, can you clarify?
- int_handler 10y agoThank you, this is exactly what I am asking and verifies that the _poster_, not the author, came up with the "Aaron Swartz Redux" title and that the author did not describe himself as "the next Aaron Swartz." Excuse my pedantry.
- grzm 10y agoThe author doesn't, though he does bring Swartz up as part of his story. "I was tired of explaining this whole travesty over and over again: from the troubled teen industry, to Justina Pelletier, Carmen Ortiz, the CFAA, and Aaron Swartz."
