Remembering Aaron Swartz in this moment
- stingraycharles 2y agoWhich was arguably more innocent — scientific papers.
- piyuv 2y agoMeta is not “innocent”, and comparing this instance with Swartz is a huge offense to his legacy.
- Philpax 2y agoI don't think you've read the parent comment correctly?
- piyuv 2y agoParent comment implies Swartz was guilty of some degree. I vehemently disagree with that.
- aruametello 2y ago> Parent comment implies Swartz was guilty of some degree as a constructive criticism, you might want to reconsider your interpretation of >"Remembering Aaron Swartz in this moment" -> Which was arguably more innocent — scientific papers. As in, both hold some degree of illegality (objectively), so when pointed that "he is guilty of some degree" is due to the jurisdiction laws (broken or not) regardless of societal/moral values that the context may apply. perhaps a better answer would be to point that he shouldn't be punished for those actions.

- maverwa 2y agoI think comparing it is reasonable and valid. Equaling it would be incorrect. What Meta is (allegedly, likely) doing here is several orders of magnitude worse, in scale and intention. I'd say both ethical and probably juristical. But just because the scale and intention are different, does not mean we cannot compare both cases. They are not equal, far from it. But they are compareable.
