- iancmceachern 3y agoIt seems strange for this documentary to be on Disney plus
- ranting-moth 3y agoThey need more subscribers.

- OldManRyan 3y agoDisney+ is a different animal in countries that aren't the US.
- flangola7 3y agoIn what way?
- wodenokoto 3y agoIt’s a combination of Hulu and something called stars (which might actually be a reference to Hulu content) Things marketed as stars inside the Disney plus app is content more adult than your typical Disney branding.
- xwolfi 3y agoI'm in Hong Kong, I don't get what you mean. There's no porn or snuff movies on it here either, how tame is it in the US ? I bought it for my 5yo to get her Disney dose, do you guys buy it for even younger children ? What other countries do you think exist outside the US? Why are there "different animals" of Disney streaming services ? Have you pursued your thought down to even quoting a few examples of what you imagine would happen in Tokyo, Johannesburg or Milan if you started Disney+ ?
- keenmaster 3y agoHe was probably referring to Disney Star which you can get with Disney+ in some countries outside the U.S. https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/10/22165950/disney-star-streaming-service-hotstar-international-movies-tv https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/10/22165950/disney-star-str...
- OldManRyan 3y agoThis is what I'm referring to for the most part. There are other things like Disney+ carrying pro wrestling in other countries like Indonesia.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoIn the US it's trying very hard to appear kid/family friendly. To the point where the Disney+ versions of PG movies and many TV shows have extra censorship (you can look around online for lists of content that's been bowdlerized on Disney+)
- robertlagrant 3y agoHaving watched them murder Star Wars, Willow, and now Indiana Jones, this seems relatively tame.
- jvanderbot 3y agoAndor is quite good. But still a bit too much Disney in some scenes.
- pavelstoev 3y agoI actually very much appreciate how adult it is.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoMandelorian was good on Season1 too. It seems shows have a chance of skating by, but if they are well reviewed they’ll get Disney Fingers all over them starting in their second season. Andor was great. Give me one reason to think they won’t screw it up.
- t0bia_s 3y agoAndor was actually very nice surprise to me. Only SW show that is not just casual "go there do this". 9th episode has best space "battle" I ever saw in cinema.
- robertlagrant 3y agoHorses on a space ship? Give me Wrath of Khan in the nebula any day.
- t0bia_s 3y agoHorses?

- necubi 3y agoInternationally Disney+ gets most of the content that's shown on Hulu in the US (as Hulu is US-only).
- mcpackieh 3y agoAwful bastard hacker strikes a death blow against an evil corporation from beyond the grave. Very cyberpunk.
- bozhark 3y agocyberpunk would have faked their death a year before the hack…
- toyg 3y agoYou mean uploading their consciousness before killing their body.
- sitkack 3y agoPutting the "crypt" in Cryptopunk.
- itake 3y agoDeath blow? I saw their ad last week in the App Store.
- mcpackieh 3y agoHuh, I thought for sure they were defunct.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoLike in that scene in The Terminator (1984), when the skin of the titular assassin melts/burns off/whatever, and it is revealed for what it truly is: a machine. Here, the "death blow" to a corporation reveals its true nature: an artificial intelligence. Implemented in bureaucracy and economics, executing on a runtime that's literally made of humans as processing units. C-suite, employees, customers, partners - all just execution substrate. So yeah, you'd think that this corporate entity was dead already - but it was never alive in the first place. Unlike the humans opposing it, it doesn't need to be.

- binarymax 3y agoThis reads like a Hulu/Disney submarine piece.
- pseudo0 3y agoSo they hired a scumbag to harass their critics in potentially illegal ways, fired the scumbag, and then were surprised that he turned on them? What a perfect example of what goes around, comes around.
- asynchronous 3y agoNot to mention the “business” being run was about as shady as you can get.
- pseudo0 3y agoIt's remarkable that they still exist as a functioning company. I would have thought that the lawsuits over the hack, the alleged fake accounts, and the general loss of customer trust would have been enough to push them into insolvency.
- busterarm 3y agoAdvertising to horny people is hilariously effective.
- bozhark 3y agoIf only Reddit knew this
- tourmalinetaco 3y agoI’m surprised Spez doesn’t, considering his history.
- thatguy0900 3y agoReddit can also look at all the payments nonsense pornhub has to go through
- busterarm 3y ago
- cbxyp 3y agoIs it impossible the executives had motive to murder?
- googlryas 3y agoThey murdered the suspect before he committed the crime?
- sokoloff 3y agoAnd then forgot they did when they accused him…
- acumenical 3y agoConveniently
- qup 3y agoThese prediction models are getting to be really good.
- TechBro8615 3y agoI don't think OP is suggesting they might have murdered him in retribution for the hack. As the article describes, there was quite a lot of animosity between the contractor Harrison and the owner of Ashley Madison, including a harassment campaign from Harrison that started two years before he killed himself and three years before the hack.
- emmelaich 3y agoHarrison probably had the complete data from the company ready to go for any purpose. Maybe it was released with a deadman's switch or by a friend after he got suicided.
- lijok 3y agoImagine that board meeting
- aaron695 3y ago[dead]
- olliej 3y agoWait, so they were defaming a dead guy? Wouldn't that be something the guy's family could sue over?
- tptacek 3y agoYou can't defame a dead person.
- busterarm 3y agoNot entirely: https://strasbourgobservers.com/2017/12/08/the-european-court-defamation-of-the-dead-searching-for-clarity/#:~:text=The%20European%20Court's%20case%20law,of%20their%20deceased%20relatives'%20reputations https://strasbourgobservers.com/2017/12/08/the-european-cour....
- olliej 3y agoI'll rephrase "can the family of the dead person sue people for causing emotional - and potentially financial - trauma due to people making false claims of criminal activity?" I also get there's a glib "you can sue for anything, but it can always be thrown out" response, but that's a non-answer.
- tptacek 3y agoI understood the question and believe the answer to be “no”.
- shibel 3y agoWhat’s the point of having [Spoiler Alert] in the opening paragraph if the spoiler is already in the title?
- sitkack 3y agoMoaner's Mandate: Regardless of its content, every headline is destined to be the target of at least one disgruntled reader's ire
- MrStonedOne 3y ago[dead]
- Scoundreller 3y agoEditor usually chooses the title. Editor is incompetent. (Dunno if krebs is a one man show or not)
- jiveturkey 3y agoi wonder why bash-a-business.com has a [.] to apparently defeat text parsing? yet it’s actually a link. to the webarchive. and one (and only one) other site has a similar construction to its name.
- Rebelgecko 3y agoMaybe to keep someone from registering it for malicious purposes? At one point, archive.org would follow robots.txt retroactively. So if you lost control of the domain, someone else could wipe all of its history.
- pineapple_guy 3y agoIs it just me or does that headline read as he was murdered by a highly skilled assassin who was hired by a high net-worth ‘victim’ of the hack.
- crummy 3y agoA time travelling victim?
