Actress Leslie Jones Hacked, Private Info Leaked

and answered it.

Fixed that for you.

[Smirkeria]

Explain.

Apparently you calling out these hackers means you apply it to everyone who is concerned about free speech and/or doesn't like Lesile.
If i get that wrong feel free to call me out ramenia.

So free speech allows you to hack people on the Internet and make veiled death threats against them by comparing them to a gorilla that got shot.

I'm not a huge fan of PC, but there has to be a line.

[Cannot think of a name]

You know, I'm really fucking trying to keep my personal opinions of this woman out of the picture, but goddamn do I just not give a shit.

I mean, seriously, I can understand getting bent out of shape when it's the little guys getting doxxed.

But Leslie Jones? A....*sigh* technically a comedian with more money than I could possibly dream of?

You'll forgive me if I'm running a bit low on empathy.

Nope. No forgiveness. Your reasoning is banal.

[Seperates]

Given Leslie Jones propensity towards her own little jaunts into racism, and the over-reaction of Twitter towards banning Milo for some of his 'arguable' supporters (though Milo himself never did) posting racist twits... It was only a matter of time before some zealous nut did the 'justice' they thought was nessecery.

To say her life is in danger would be an exageration though. I doubt even Milo's fans would think that banning from twitter is comparable to death. Aside from that, get the police on it. Nothing to see here.

[Vlamistaatti]

At this point the whole trolling of Leslie Jones is really overdone.

Guess they are just desperate for "lolzies"

[Equalaria]

Another example of virulent misogyny. Leslie is very talented, and the only criticism she faces are because of her being a woman of color. These alt right facist a continue to harass and assault her for basically existing. These hate crimes should be punished to the full extent of the law.

I agree with this. But, people also get hacked for many reasons, and this is likely not even related to the Milo incident.

[Minoa]

I have lost a lot of faith in the Internet, especially in light of the proliferation of ransomware.

[Umezawa]

But, people also get hacked for many reasons, and this is likely not even related to the Milo incident.

I think it's tangentially related. Many people were annoyed with how twitter immediately jumped to Jones' defense when she tweeted out a bunch of questionable material herself, although she was clearly on the receiving end of most of it. Milo also received a ton of "abuse" daily that twitter did nothing about. A lot of people were upset by the double standard they have, and how they essentially used Milo as a scapegoat, which engendered more animosity towards Jones. Some of it may be misdirected, but the hacking appears to be an extension or an outgrowth from this event.

[Imperializt Russia]

and put up one picture comparing her to a gorilla.

Not just any gorilla, but a gorilla that was shot. It's not only an incredibly racist statement, it's also clearly a death threat.

Disagree. Harambe's just hot topic material at the moment. You're reading far too deeply.

Obviously if any of the malicious action had been of the flavour "we'll do to you what they did to Harambe", you'd be right.

Stop victim blaming people.

[Zeinbrad]

Part of their literal job, as prescribed by POTUS and the USC, is to look into crimes of this nature.

US naval destroyers just opened fire on a group of Iranian gunboats, and you think that the Department of Homeland Security's priority right now should be to investigate pictures of a B-grade actress's vagina being leaked onto the internet? There are, possibly literally, a million more important things that they could be doing with taxpayer money than this.

Homeland Security doesn't handle foreign affairs.

[Gauthier]

Homeland Security is not playing favorites here. It's that even THEY noticed the frequency and amount of cybershit Leslie Jones has been getting and they had to investigate. If some average human being received the same volume and frequency of hate hacks that would probably be investigated as well.

It's not about racism in itself that was the problem. It was that the fact racism was used to harass her. It's only a double standard if say they wanted people banned and/or abused for going "Pull up your pants damn blacks."
Also IIRC Milo was involved in sending it and had more of history of doing shit.

I never directly mentioned racism in my post, although the tweets directed at Jones were tinged with racism. My point was Milo received a steady stream of "abusive" tweets and death threats that were never addressed by twitter, so in that sense there is a double standard. A right wing commentator copy and pasted some of Jones' tweets shortly after to illustrate this and was banned from twitter for it. She also was threatened and harassed but nothing was done about it. I'll link an article about this below.

Milo also wasn't directly responsible for the more egregious tweets sent to Jones that would constitute banneable offenses. I don't think social media, or anyone that matter, should hold public figures accountable for others' actions. The fact that the targeting of Jones has continued demonstrates that Milo wasn't the driving force behind it. He certainly stoked the flames, but there was already a good amount of negative sentiment directed towards her. I don't believe he ever explicitly called for any of his followers to "go after" her.

He also had a history of harassing other female Twitter users in a similar fashion and was briefly banned for those before.

Of course all of this assumes that these aren't faked since the no links to the tweets have been posted in all that i've seen that makes me a little suspicious.
Under the assumption that at least some of these are true.... Did you know if they even reported these? Or that any of these were caught?
That the problems with these pics. They only proved that some shit was thrown...not that it got a free pass.
And again he has a bigger history than her and was judged on that.

Debatable.

Yes they were reported. I don't know why you would doubt that validity of the tweets but you're free to look into it yourself or check out the Breitbart article (which does provide links you can ignore the editorializing) if you're interested. I don't want to get too in the weeds with this since it's somewhat off topic, but a "bigger history" is pretty poor criteria to use when determining punishment for bad behavior. Bad behavior should be held accountable regardless of its frequency. The same way people who commit crimes are held accountable regardless if they are first time offenders. The truth is if twitter banned everyone for "abuse" based on their criteria it would be a pretty barren place. Of course repeat offenders should face harsher punishment, but in this instance Milo didn't do very much. He certainly went out of his way to agitate people while on twitter, but I don't believe he ever threatened someone's life, while his was threatened routinely on the platform.

TBF there is a problem about reports but that doesn't mean Milo is innocent. You haven't really proved anything other than people are dicks in the internet and that Twitter usually does a shitty job at it. Most people don't actually disagree with this....this double standard(Unless it's based on celebrity) isn't a thing and/or not one shared by the public.

And by bigger history i did mean Repeat defenders and he still incited people to this against the TOS. Now like i said are all cases processed as they should be? No but that doesn't mean.

Also tell me if calling her "A Man", "Barely illiterate", and "Playing the victim" for complaining about the shit they gave counts. https://mic.com/articles/149101/leslie- ... ist-tweets (You can do in ignoring the non-tweet text. It probably contains some BS though i don't know if it's Breitbart level)

I don't see how he incited anyone in this instance. Maybe I missed it, but I followed it pretty closely when it happened. Jones was actually the one retweeting people and telling her followers to go after them. Not to say she brought it on herself, but the more she responded angrily to people the more it seemed to feed into it. I don't know what else you could be getting at with "bigger history" aside from a repeat offender, or someone who has a history of doing something.

I think it's pretty clear that the fact that Kassy was banned (for copying Leslie's tweets) but those tweeting her abusive statements were not demonstrates that there is indeed a different criteria applied when evaluating reports of abuse depending on who it is. It wasn't just negligence on twitter's part as you're suggesting (if so they would've done nothing), it was selective enforcement. I think that meets the criteria for a double standard.

First i did say that i meant repeat offenders and that there is a issue of reports bias hence the parathesiss .
But you still haven't proved that kassy was banned only that she said the same thing that Leslie says. Some guy from infowars said she was but that isn't really proof in itself and infowars is unreliable.

As for the rest http://www.vox.com/2016/7/20/12226070/m ... -explained this and the other article has tweets. He didn't start but he certainly didn't post things that toned it down.

All right i looked into to myself and i found them to be legit....however there is a thing about Context here.
The original was relatively more provoked than the other one. The twitters folks could have seen as such without knowing the point or they saw as start of a "I know you are but what i am" sort of deal (Which to be honest may be it.)

Though i don't see the point since the suspension was reversed same day it happened..

Sorry that's my fault, I must've misread what you wrote about what. I linked you a meditate article reporting on the ban and other outlets reported on it as well. You're free to not believe it if you want, but it did happen and she did receive abuse that was not addressed by twitter despite being reported. The #FreeKassy hashtag has many references to when she was banned for it.

I've seen his tweets. I followed it as it developed and followed the subsequent coverage. My argument isn't that he didn't write anything disparaging about her, but that he didn't directly or explicitly incite people to attack Jones as was being alleged and was provided as the reason for his ban. A big component of that charge was people arguing that he was behind the fabricated tweets people made of hers, which was never proven and has no evidence.

People post inflammatory things all the time on twitter, sometimes about other people, I don't think that this is equivalent to inciting people to "attack" someone. It's also not his responsibility to "tone it down". You could argue it might've been nice if he tried, but even if he did it wouldn't have done anything at that point. He doesn't have any control over what other people do, and she kept poking the hornet's nest. Again, that's not to suggest she brought it on herself, but she kept throwing the trolls red meat. Her responses seemed to fuel it more than Milo's commentary.
