Its too bad that plane that went down in Florida wasn’t Elmos!
I don’t know why there aren’t more hactivists. You would be hailed by the people for doing shit like this.
You also get quietly whisked off to a prison that isn’t a prison where you are charged as a terrorist.
I would like to see power in the hands of the people, but using technology to do it is really risky. You have to be extremely good at covering your tracks or you’re fucked.
“plan to” why plan? Just do it.
They already did it: https://capybara.info/navigator/elon-musk-tesla/
this link is pure gold, but I wonder how much time it will last, there must already be an army of lawyers chasing these people
A lot of stuff what billionaires are doing shouldn’t be swept under personal privacy.
“Don’t bug me, it’s my own business how I spend my money”, some would say. For random people, that’s true. But when you command absurd amounts of wealth, maybe all of that stuff has consequences to the rest of the society.
We demand transparency from people who have power over our lives, and oligarchs shouldn’t be an exception to that rule.
I am more afraid of the billionaires than the atomic bombs.
Generally, I am anti-doxxing… but the billionaire class at the very least deserves loud protests outside their little enclaves.
Loud protest outside their homes is the polite thing to do…probably not what they deserve.
Most of them are wealthy because they effectively mass scale doxx everyone to advertisers anyway.
They hate shit like VPNs and places not using any linked ID info and online handles and shit. Anything providing any later of anonymity.
Fuck these people.
Totally correct.
And the only reason we’re getting movement on spyware TV’s is because these bastards are affected by it.
They have blood on their hands. Indirectly maybe, but there is a LOT of blood. They deserve much worse than protests
Agreed 100%.
What they’ve done is no less criminal for being legal.
That’s the thing, a lot is illegal but laws aren’t being enforced.
At least in this case “doxxing” could restore an asymmetry: Billionaires own the major internet platforms, they already know a good portion about a big number of people. It’s just not called doxxing.
Generally, I am anti death-penalty… But the billionaire class, at the very least, deserve guillotines, gallows, and their heads on spikes outsider their little enclaves
it doesn’t count when you do the same thing back to someone that they’re doing to you
if they have all our data, we can have all their data
Alright, Hammurabi
Is your point supposed to be a critique of removing billionaire privacy on anti-“an eye for an eye” grounds? It’s not revenge or retaliation. It’s parity. If they can put us in a surveillance state, they should be spied on too. Why would we take the moral high road over the people trying to kill the planet for profit? Fuck 'em.
Didn’t Musk post his own phone number on the site formerly known as Twitter recently?
And a shipping address…
This is vigilantism. When the official authorities don’t seek justice, vigilantes often pop up. I may disagree with their methods, but I think the fault lies with these oligarchs for courting the injustice.
It’s encouraging vigilantism, but I wouldn’t call it vigilante work directly. I agree with the overall sentiment though: When we consider the Four Boxes of Liberty, the billionaires have already done everything they can to nullify the soap box, ballot box, and jury box. All that’s left after that is the ammo box.
Doxxing is not vigilantiism. Luigi is vigilantiism.
Courting injustice? They’re literally bribing and propagandizing to the tune of billions of dollars a year to prop up injustice in this society. In favor of the wealthy class of course.
I miss grumpy cat
I thought musk already doxed himself less than a month ago when buying some Legos or something
More likely one of his kids that he doesn’t live with.
This article alone will be reason enough for countless raids and stolen laptops and phones, but not from billionaires.
Well done!
Short sighted goals by people who don’t understand billionaires. What do they plan to accomplish with this? A billionaire could pay off someone’s $500,000 mortgage, their $30,000 car, pay off $50,000, give them $100,000 in cash and forget about it the next day. That’s $680,000 in a single day which would only be 0.06% of their wealth. Dox them all you want. They will alight about it when they exchange stories.
What the fuck do you think simping for billionaires will get you?
This is class warfare. You will not be thanked or rewarded for what you are doing. They expect you to fall in line. If you actually care about your fellow humans and citizens, disabuse them of that notion.
What do they plan to accomplish with this?
Remind them that we can burn their house down with them inside or shoot them in the face. They’re just sacks of meat like anyone else.
I feel like the implication here is obvious so I’m not sure what’s confusing to you about it.
This is actually why I think we should bring back the old tradition of pieing corrupt politicians and public figures. The humiliation is only half of the message. The other half of the message is “this could have been a weapon, and you only continue to live because I chose a pie instead. Your security needs to win every time, but we only need to touch you once.”
We’ve basically already brought it back with milkshaking, but a milkshake is much less conspicuous (and cheaper, unless you’re literally just doing whip in a pie tin).
ooh this needs to be a flag
billionaire could pay off someone’s $500,000 mortgage, their $30,000 car, pay off $50,000, give them $100,000 in cash and forget about it the next day
They could, but they won’t, and that’s part of the problem.
If billionaires walked around clearing people’s mortgages and paying for everyone’s dinner, they’d be less hated. They’d still be a problem, but they could buy popularity.
But they don’t. Because they’re assholes.
Maybe this will scare some of them into changing the behavior. Maybe it will get some of them killed.
You all remember that “you are Jeff bezos” game, I hope: https://direkris.itch.io/you-are-jeff-bezos
You sound like you’re jumping on a grenade for billionaires.
Palantir, Flock, etc. For us, and here’s you mooing about letting billionaires have their privacy and space.
Ya, we’re just gonna go ahead and sweep aside your nonsense.
Someone pointed out that “flock” is named as such because its founders think of us as sheep. Imagine simping for those guys.
Edit: not you but the guy above you
I always figured it was a reference to the “birds work for the government” joke. That, or because birds tend to perch up on traffic lights and watch the traffic passing below. Or something about safety in numbers, because Flock’s biggest selling point is that after they hit a certain number of strategically placed cameras, avoiding them becomes nearly impossible.
What does this mean though, are you suggesting a billionaire could just bribe someone to not doxx them?
Society is collapsing and the planet is dying because of these fuckheads. Who cares about the fucking mortgage when it’s looking like Mad Max in 20 years.
they can, the oligarch always used to push people away. forcing other people to do their bidding. by doxxing them it makes them feel vulnerable, annoyed or at very least hassled by it. thats the point.
That leather must taste really good…
Nice try, Musk.
I’m with you. All this is doing, is sending them a warning. They’ll bump up their security & all this posting would be rendered useless.
Luigi Mangioni didn’t send out warning posts.
The best way to attack a billionaire is to inconvenience them
Okay, but what is real inconvenience for a billionaire? Some gossip? They can handle it. Does not change the system. A large-scale successful strike of their workers could hurt them more. Maybe juicy doxxing can nudge to workers turning against their billionaires?
