The Man Who Broke The Internet is a headline that blames the developer who took down their stolen code. The Internet broke because of dickish greed by Bob Stratton on behalf of Kik Messenger owner Kik. And when the dev took down the code they were threatened over they had their project stolen from them. Nothing is fair and the people who make it unfair need to be shamed.
