Nobody's defending Rabbit here, but that's chickenshit journalism, and it happens too often.

Nobody's defending Rabbit here, but that's chickenshit journalism, and it happens too often.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoSince when is an individual's personal blog "journalism", and therefore expected to live up to that standard?
- Retr0id 2y agoI take it as a compliment!
- gruez 2y agoIt might not be "journalism", but I think it's pretty reasonable to wait a week for responses before dropping serious accusations It's not exactly a onerous requirement to meet.
- mynameisvlad 2y agoReasonable? Sure. Expected and therefore commented that it's chickenshit when it doesn't happen? Yeah, no. If this were a reputable news outlet, that expectation would be reasonable.
- JoshTriplett 2y agoI think it's entirely reasonable to report what you find when you find it, and update later with responses received.
- KibbeWater 2y agoMost of what's mentioned in the article is not any new allegations. Rabbit has been berated for their GPL violations for over a month now and the excessive logging was rectified before he even sent in a request for comment. Requesting comments were only a formality to address already voiced concerns
- callalex 2y agoIt’s also pretty reasonable to respect the GPL when you financially benefit from it, yet here we are.
- copywrong2 2y agoNo no no, Rabbits mistakes are honest small mistakes from a great company! But this author, man of pure evil, hasn't waited long enough for my favourite bunny company to cover up their lies :(
- Suppafly 2y ago>Since when is an individual's personal blog "journalism", and therefore expected to live up to that standard? If the author is going to pretend to be a journalist of a security researcher, I see no problem holding their work to the ethical standards expected from those sorts of people.
- Ylpertnodi 2y ago>I could write a whole other article about how hostile and dismissive they've been to researchers Please do.
