lots of people talk about their sex lives online, that alone shouldn’t make someone worth targeting
Here's his argument:
> There's no law against posting numbers.
> There are some instances where humiliation fetishes intentionally hold up government id (including ssn cards) while wearing diapers.

> If he did the same with credit cards, I'd also probably permit that. I don't know how I'm expected to say "oh you're posting ridiculous stuff online but because a plastic card with numbers on it is featured, I won't permit that to be published". It just doesn't make sense logically. There are plenty of public records that feature sensitive information, mostly court documents.
> The law is specifically regarding facilitating financial crimes. If someone posts FIN and then encourages people to use that maliciously, that would be deleted. If someone posts that they've already used it maliciously, I think we'd just publicly ban that user and retain the post. It makes less sense to delete evidence of a crime than to retain it so that the proper legal mechanisms can react to it.
> So in short, numbers are the same as names and addresses and photos. If you're so sloppy with your personal information that you're leaking FIN, I can't bottle that for you even if I tried. I can only discourage people from doing anything illegal and ban people who do.
ISPs routinely block customers who distribute spam and malware or violate AUP policies about hate speech, and this isn’t new. In 2002, Hurricane Electric’s AUP prohibited “use of Hurricane’s network to harass or threaten (in the legal sense of those terms) any other person,” and “advocacy of violence against any specific person or class of people is prohibited” was added six years ago in 2017.
At the end of the day, I’m not terribly surprised that this website falls under the same umbrella. For trans people, getting targeted by this website is a lot like getting targeted by spammers or malware: your home address starts getting hate mail, your friends and loved ones start receiving death threats, your employer starts getting unsubstantiated phone calls asking why they hired a pedophile, etc. In Liz’s case, this site still distributes her driver’s license and SSN (“minecraft number”), which aren’t available online elsewhere.
