Claims of collateral damage, whether it is claimed by a government or wikileaks basically amounts to saying “shit happens” and whether it is a bombing in Afghanistan or releasing the financial information of thousands of innocent citizens it is totally unacceptable.

Good job Joe! As much as I would love to rip into them, they can’t really be blamed for this, but I do know who SHOULD be blamed for this. Cough DNC cough.

One big, big difference in Gawker’s case is that they could make an argument (which they lost but are appealing) that said person brought on that level of scrutiny as a result of his own actions publicizing those aspects of his life by speaking about them on the radio.

Also, if the data were filtered, that would put a price on the content. That content then gives financial incentive to aquire the personal data which means people would be profiting off of the data by selling it to bad people...

I think the moment that you adopt an editing policy on these sort of leaks, you enter into some very dangerous waters (not that releasing confidential information isn’t already dangerous...).

I’m not sure you and I will agree on who exactly is “the boss,” here!

You realize you’re arguing that someone trying to undermine Dana White’s authority is in the wrong here, right?

Dunno, it seems like a pretty good position to me. Refusing to take orders from a remora piece of shit like Dana White is the right move, every time.
