Do you seriously consider ownership of victim data being in the hands of the police you give it to as anywhere near posting it online? That's also included in this leak, whether or not subpoenaed information is included as well. That information is much better off on some data center somewhere than on the Twitter and torrents everywhere.
Even the part about not having tools is wrong, people are already seeding torrents for this information and IPFS exists.
- mindslight 6y agoI was referring to the type of suspect data I saw on the subreddit. Given the top-level names in the repacked torrent from that subreddit, I'm not convinced there is much victim data in here. It seems to be focused on fusion with federal agencies, which would tend away from everyday police reports. But once again we're arguing over hearsay, instead of directly referencing the primary material. What is your source for there being much victim data, apart from innuendos by journalists who also haven't had much time to comb through? Also at this point, the data being out there is a done deal. So shutting down links and discussion is mainly shutting down analysis in discussion in more open spheres, rather than actually preventing bad actors. My point about not having the tools is specifically about the subreddit discussion. If that grows, only to be chopped down later, it will be a net loss. Is there a better forum in which public analysis is happening, on IPFS or the like?
