It was just one random guy that released the name, actually against the advice of a lot of other Anonymous people.

They basically saw on his Facebook that he changed his name and he had a status update that said, "they won't be able to find me now." And that his employer was the MO police department. It turned out, though, that he was just a dispatcher. No idea who he was trying to hide from.

I'm happy that the mood was better yesterday, but there is no way that it makes up for what happened over the previous days. I feel like people are going, "now it's over, everything is fine." But it's NOT FINE. There are a lot more names that need to be released, including the police officers that unlawfully…

At first I thought it was $45 to freeze your eggs, which sounded way off. If anyone else was confused like me the article says it is about $7500.

Too bad you can make as real accounts as you want so I don't really see how that helps.

There are always more images though, not to mention the fact that you can just tweak the file name or image itself to get around fingerprinting.

When the "punishment" is acceptably small, then yes, that is something you might be familiar with called "society".

Yes but that gets into a whole other discussion. There are a lot of people who legitimately use Tor to get around government censorship, including women in countries with bad track records on human rights that might want to visit this site.

Honestly? Get rid of inline images in comments. Sure, we all love cat GIFs, but if that is the price for being able to have a discussion without being assaulted with violent pornography then I think it is worth it. That or going back to the greys are the only effective solutions. At least give authors the option…

Unfortunately, tracking IPs won't really do anything. It is trivial to get a new IP address through Tor, and I'm sure these trolls either know that already or will quickly figure it out when they are IP banned. The only thing you can do is go back to some kind of "greys" system where commenters are hidden by…

What site has figured it out? Most places don't let you post inline images in your comments so they don't have this problem. I can't think of a good solution, can you?

Yeah, it is pretty horrible right now. The only way they could fix it though would be to go back to something like before where most of the commenters were hidden by default and only the cool people could have their posts seen. Or they could hire people to manually approve every comment, which would be pretty…

No, not really. It is simple to get a new IP through Tor.

There's nothing they can do about it except dismiss as fast as they see it. Since Kinja lets anyone post visible comments, he can always keep making new accounts :-(

I would think that breach of contract would just let the parents sue the surrogate for money. They would still be responsible for the kid, in the same way that a father is responsible for a child that he didn't want and would have rather had aborted.

She probably signed some kind of release that says they can use her likeness for promotional materials. I know my dentist asks everyone to sign one.

Oh dang, nice call on that one.

It comes in little single use packets that you can keep in your purse.

Probably not, since homo sapiens evolved over 200 thousand years ago.

Even if that was going to happen (which there really is no evidence for), it would take hundreds or thousands of years. Changes in culture have about a thousand times more impact on society than evolution. We haven't discernibly evolved in all of recorded human history. But it's a lot better now than it was in 2000…
