Context: A hacker wearing a pink power ranger costume deleted a racist dating website live at the end of their 39c3 talk this year.

Video of the talk (together with two journalists) here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-the-echo-chamber#l=eng

(The link is set to English translation, original talk is in German. Deletion happens here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-the-echo-chamber#l=eng&t=2577)

me and a few friends talked to a local dude who put his discord in his bio on that website. turns out he was generally a normal and pleasant dude and since that he did a complete 180. Last time he used WhiteDate was 2018. People, especially young people, can change a lot in almost a Decade.

some of them may not be the monstrous assholes we imagine them to be. (except those guys with nazi tats and showing off swastikas)
