For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: Do not post public figures, these should be posted to c/gossip

Ok, that makes sense. I had no idea that CitiBike data was publicly accessible.
Even if it wasn't him scraping the data is not the issue here for the aforementioned reasons. It all exists anyways, neatly organized on centralized server infrastructure. This Data cannot not exist unless you want to turn back the clock to like thousands of dudes on rikshas. Given that, it's either only the state can see it and use it, or everybody can.
What this guy did is dumbass witchhunting. Even removed from the idea a guy doing a planned assassination would stoop so low as to fuck with a citibke to disable or futz it's tracking, the expanded post simply shows this is the only bike taken from a nearby station and going northbound and dropped off there. Guy might've gotten it from one like half an hour away.
