Destroying a company that both takes government security contracts, and also drops the firewall and gives out the root password after an email request is a public service. Such a company is a danger to the safety of every citizen in america and beyond. A lot more than eight lives could be ruined if they had been investigating organised crime or terrorism instead of anon. Harsh but I think true.

You people are so socially retarded. How can such speculation justify ruining actual lives in anyway? There is no way you can concretely justify anything you claim there.

  In capitalism inept companies go out of business. If you're a security company that just got hacked 6 ways to Sunday, you're inept. Maybe it's time for some other startup company to "make" the lives of i's employees by stepping in to the void and doing the work properly.

    Are they a security company or a forensics company? Different skillsets.

      Different, but related. A forensics company does not have the ability to claim ignorance of security issues - /especially/ if their role is digging up dirt on others. They should be fully aware of privacy and security issues. Now if they were a company that baked and distributed cheesecakes, I'd give them a pass on criticism for having security issues.

        But that's not the service they're providing, thus incompetence in that arena does not endanger multitudes of American lives and anon ruining their company is unjustified.

    If you constantly kill everything that is weak you destroy your ecosystem. Much better is to build up the weak, which is why the West prospers and other cultures do not. Social and economic Darwinism do not work.

      > which is why the West prospers and other cultures do not I think you're forgetting Korea, Japan, Taiwan and several middle East countries. Even China isn't doing too bad, recently. And isn't western-style democracy much closer to economic Darwinism than eg. socialism?

        It's called creative destruction, and it's a wonderful thing.

        And do those companies build up their people or destroy them? Don't miss the forest for the trees in your response. China is a different case. Insofar as they respect human rights they prosper. Insofar as they don't they fail. No, socialism is strongly tied to eugenics, which is state driven Darwinism. That is purposefully killing off the weak and unfit. Capitalism is a matter of letting the best man win. Killing the weak is not a part of that.

      "the West prospers and other cultures do not." Ahh good old fashion sarcasm.

        All the cultures explicitly founded on Darwinism crash and burn. Name an exception.

  Lack of internet & information freedom is ruining lives.

  Ruining actual lives. I've heard of a few government agencies who have some experience in that. Karma's a bitch eh?
