I’m fine with this though. Area 51 is mostly for testing new military tech. Doubtful there is anything there with a strong public need to know. These are secrets they should be allowed to have and protect. Dudes hobby was publishing as much as possible about classified things… play stupid games win stupid prizes. If there was some public good served or some important need to know… sure that’s worth consideration. If it was some much more mundane “secret” or publishing something that should be free to know or had a significant public interest, sure.
But it’s not, it’s feeding off Area 51 conspiracies for funzies and well I’m not so upset if that gets your raided by the FBI.
If you don’t want to legitimize and strengthen these over the top responses, don’t test the exact boundaries of things which are pretty defensibly legitimate. (Like details about a classified aircraft test facility)
