Pretty sure there will be elaborate arguments about free speech and doxing on this thread so let’s look at the facts:
* Qanaon is currently classified as a potential domestic terrorist threat to the country by the FBI. Free speech does not protect you from criminal activity.
* this wasn’t simply someone trying to talk freely about what he believed, it seems like this person was making thousands of dollars from this site. He created a fucking pattern account to get “donations”. Wow.
The generous way to view this is as a low level scam, but the FBI would probably disagree. I suspect this is why this person shut down the site, he doesn’t want to be the target of scrutiny or media attention.
- woodpanel 6y agooff topic: can you elaborate what a pattern account is? (not a native speaker)
- spiderfarmer 6y agoTypo. He meant Patreon.
- robk 6y agoTypo for Patreon
- Nasrudith 6y agoQAnon followers are a bunch of delusional moron cultists and certainly are very easy to push but "potential domestic terrorist threat by the FBI" is a terrible metric and not a reason to abridge free speech - innocent until proven guilty applies. Occupy Wallstreet and Juggalos also got that designation. "Potential x" is a disingenuous innuendo that implies without meaningful basis you can say every man or woman is a potential rapist or murderer. Aside from watching the suspicious freaks and maybe investigation for some sort of outright donation fraud (just spewing bullshit for money doesn't count or David Icke would be in jail for decades) there isn't much that can be done and respect rights.
