~~Every one of these people are honest individuals who ran afoul of Orwellian, fascist policies. If policies like this existed in the 80’s, the internet itself would be considered a terrorist technology. Humanity is SO fucked.~~
edit: I was fairly wrong about quite a few. Dunk culture corrected me though. Great dunks, guys.
What I guess I was getting at is that some of these people built tech that is just geared toward anonymity and were arrested for it. Many also had other crimes that they committed and I honestly hadn’t read enough about.
No way you can put all those people in the same bucket. Some of them as stated in the other comments are all but honest.
