News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

So the hack was wrong in the remaining 29 states? Sounds like moral relativism right there.

In the US, justice must be pursued by legal means, else there's no case. These hackers just removed any chance of prosecution in the 21 states, because of tainted discovery.

I never argued that it was any less wrong in those states. My point in including that line was to demonstrate that I am not the only one who believes that cheating is a moral offense against your partner, worthy of at least some repercussion. In the eyes of 21 states, it is literally a crime. So my moralisms remain absolute, regardless of the other states. The fact remains that if these hackers had not lifted these docs, not one of these incidents would have ever faced their day of reckoning from the spouses they betrayed. That to me, is justice served.

That part sounds true. But the cost of this justice was high. Privacy is under attack at every turn. Its a dirty victory.

how do you know they betrayed anyone? Have you ever considered that people may have marriages that look differently from what you think marriage should be ?

to the downvoters, have you ever heard of open marriages ?

If there are open marriages then the spouse that was not using this service would not have a problem.

Yes, the public knowing (if this bothered the open couple) is an injury.
