Aaron Swartz Didn't Kill Himself

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

I mean, I think we know he probably did, unfortunately.

He believed he was facing a lifetime in prison.

And the people pushing for that punishment were the ones that caused it, pushing someone into committing suicide is as good murder
his blood is on their hands

Sounds like something the D E E P S T A T E would say.

Who is this Deeps Tate guy you're talking about? I thought there were only two dipshits.

Deep State is older brother to Firefly actress Jewel Staite, and belligerent younger brother Islamic State.

Talk about a diamond in the rough. Jewel is a treasure!

He was arrested for bulk downloading PDFs?

[-] bigMouthCommie@kolektiva.social 31 points 7 months ago

he was arrested to make an example.

In the same way that whistleblowing or "leaking" evidence of a crime is punished far more severely than any crime. It's basically a death sentence.

[-] dzervas@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

that’s very fucked up

i’d say to him to install a small computer or something (raspi?), leave it there and leak the pdfs slowly - would take weeks, maybe months

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago

Unless you misplaced a decimal point somewhere and we're pretty sure they're gonna notice 80,000 PDFs copied! D:
