>He was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison[34] and ordered to pay $73,000 in restitution.[49] Just prior to his sentencing, he posted an "Ask Me Anything" thread on Reddit;[50] his comments, such as "I hope they give me the maximum, so people will rise up and storm the docks" and "My regret is being nice enough to give AT&T a chance to patch before dropping the dataset to Gawker. I won't nearly be as nice next time", were cited by the prosecution the next day in court as justification for the sentence.[51] Dear god what did I read? >On April 11, 2014, the Third Circuit issued an opinion vacating Auernheimer's conviction, on the basis that the New Jersey venue was improper,[56] since neither Auernheimer, his co-conspirators, nor AT&T's servers were in New Jersey at the time of the data breach. While the judges did not address the substantive question on the legality of the site access, they were skeptical of the original conviction, noting that no circumvention of passwords had occurred and that only publicly accessible information was obtained.[59] He was released from prison on April 11, 2014.[60] How incompetent do you have to be to arrest someone over something that isn't a crime, and also screw up the case so badly that you'd have to release him even if it was?

  Defendant here. There was not an ounce of incompetence in this prosecution. It was pure malice.

    I have to say I'm both fascinated and horrified by your wiki page. It's like reading about a modern Black Beard. How much of your alt-right support is shock value and how much is genuine?

      I do not support the alt-right at all. Those people are all losers. My sole interest is supporting liberty and opposing censorship.

        Pity and ironic that you lean on nazi ideology, racism, anti-semitism, and white supremacy to solve our problems with liberty and free speech.

        Up until the widespread purge of Bernie bros this year (Chapo and Cumtown reddit bans, etc) it is the only thing that was censored at any significant scale. If you care about free speech you have to promote ideas people want to suppress.

        > Up until the widespread purge of Bernie bros this year (Chapo and Cumtown reddit bans, etc) it is the only thing that was censored at any significant scale No true. There is a laundry list of things that have been censured for ages in organized societies. It's odd how you choose to make a point by pretending to be a neo-Nazi and not something like... oh I don't know, why don't you pretend to be a pedophile. Or since you are In Eastern Europe, gay? I'm sure the people of Serbia, Ukraine, and Transnistria would celebrate you taking a stand for same-sex liberty and free speech and won't discriminate you for "gay propaganda".

        There are openly gay events in all these countries and particularly of Serbia, their PM Ana Brnabić is literally a lesbian (and, even more astonishly, Croatian) The myths you write about countries you've clearly never been to and like to write fanfic in your head about are quite amusing, but it doesn't change the fact that the US promises their citizens free speech by its Constitution and is functionally the source of all the world's liberties in that regard (it doesn't matter what country you are in, as long as you can host a statement in the US you can write about generally whatever). And in the US, right-wing ideas regarding racial characteristics and gender roles seem to be the only thing consistently deplatformed.

  > How incompetent do you have to be to arrest someone over something that isn't a crime, and also screw up the case so badly that you'd have to release him even if it was? I don't know, indicting, charging, and convicting someone in a federal court without proper venue when the charged act probably isn't a crime would seem like it would take an extraordinary combination of both competence and malfeasance from the prosecutor. Incompetence would lead you to fail even without the impediments of “not a crime” and “not a court in which venue is proper”.

    The US system is set up to arrest everyone and keep them locked up indefinitely as slave labor (literally true - the 13th amendment allows for slavery in prisons). I'd say that you have to be pretty incompetent to still lose with that system in place.
