Did you even read the comment chain you're responding to? You know, the one where I said it is 'good to show genuine scepticism'? Or the one after that, where I linked the 'unnamed' individual's alleged GitHub?
I am not the one being overly trusting here. I think it is 'likely' that this story is true. I researched it, looked at the significant amount of evidence, and I am still not 100% convinced. That is far more than what I can say for you people replying to me en masse who all assume the story must be an American plot with absolutely no evidence to back up this claim.
Ugh, I need to figure out a way to unsubscribe from replies to a post. You people are bonkers.
Woah you read some anonymous person's social media page and went to a GitHub page that may or may not be connected to the same person?
Fuck, call the Pulitzer committee, we got ourselves an investigative journalist.
Please keep responding to my comments everyone. I've decided to take this as an opportunity to block as many of you annoying mosquitoes as possible so I don't have to deal with you in the future.
Aussie liberal avoid dehumanizing people challenge: Impossible
So let's get this straight, the unnamed individual has a name. The dude who got busted for overseas contract work using a VPN is still committing his work on GitHub… which requires a VPN. Either we're not getting the full story, or we're just being lied to for internet clout.
If you're not 100% convinced, why are you trying to defend this article as if it were fact?
Stop posting shit takes, and if you did then at least engage in good faith
