I hate seeing "Aaron Swartz" would be rolling in his grave comments. If Swartz was still alive, he'd be censoring Reddit right along spez's side as they both highfive as they watch their wives getting plowed by bigger, blacker gentlemen.

I've seen too many of these free speech people turn on it in the past few years to believe this guy would be fighting for the little guy when he was as SJWy as he was.

Hardly. Aaron was the moral backbone of reddit. He was getting in the way of them selling out. The guy was a constant data security advocate, even regularly going on TV to talk about that subject specifically.

The guy literally went to federal court because he released scientific papers that he thought should be public because the public paid for the research. He killed himself or was killed over it.

So to say something like you've just said, is basically so wrong given the facts, I have to wonder why you'd lie like that.
