Dox, or being doxed, in terms of online forum sites, is the physical equivalent of being butt-raped irl. Just as all the greats have, when a person is "doxed", all their personal information is made available for all users to see. Names, addresses, phone numbers and school/work are not spared, and this usually leads to the person ceasing all ties with said websites, if not the interwebs as a whole.

This would be one of the things I dont get. They fight censorship with trying to censor another person or company. You can be against cernsorship all you want, but if you are doing it too then you are no better, |
You know, this is something I've been trying to think through myself. Are they, in a sense, attempting to censor Sony for Sony's attempt at censoring? And is that okay? I think so. I'm not totally sure, but I do believe it it okay. I mean, Sony is attempting to censor Geohot and other hackers from their free speech right to share information. So I think fighting fire with fire is okay here.
Now, sure, it's not so black and white to say that the hackers actually have that right to share that information. Legal precedence says yes, but with the way this judge really seems to favor Sony, it can turn out either way.
Also, the whole subpoenaing for IPs for anyone who's visited the site since 2009 is very very anti-privacy. I mean, 2009? Is that when this recent hack was first released? That part of that really bothers me. Just visiting a site can get you put on a list. That just doesn't seem fair/right/just/legal to me.

"Update: After further research into this it seems we need to point out a little more strongly that the comment concerning “Stringer’s kids” was an isolated comment and has not been endorsed by any of the leadership of either Anonymous or SonyRecon (such that they are). The headline has been altered to reflect this."

are you opposing the free flow of information? shame on you!
“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

This is exactly why I completely can understand what Anon is doing, plus getting his paypal information and social media credentials to see who if anyone had donated or accessed these files. This is completely 100% WRONG and whatever happens to Sony as a result is justified beyond acts of violence. You do something completely morally wrong and you expect no reprocussions. I am glad someone finally pulling these people down from their position of supreme power, good luck Sony.

Well I was more referring to the 15yr old kid part on the whole censorship thing, but the same logic applies to the Geohot case I suppose. But the getting information on who donated visted the site and such is actually part of my problem with the Sony side. Which is one of the many reasons I cant agree with a side. Its abunch of politics and quite frankly it drives me nutty. You end up voting for the lesser of two evils, but in the end you are still going to be screwed somehow. Im am all for free speech and the right to bear arms and everything else. In fact, I hate guns I dont own one I dont trust myself with one. However, if you try to say all guns are illegal and no Joe's and Janes can have them I would be on my front porch with the best one I could fine daring them to come get it,





well a big F U to them
and some are actually taking their side here? Really? 0_0 some of you are starting to surprise me, in a bad way

There's a difference between censorship and privacy. You should learn about that fine difference before you notice your own shame, if you ever do. Also, update the OP. As ssj12 and I have pointed out, there was an update.

Dickbag Cuntpickles is quite possibly the best insult I've ever heard. Its also a very fitting moniker for these fucking morons. Can't believe anyone is still defending this shit.
