You think DDoS (which is illegal btw) is okay as long as you don't like the target?

Harassment an doxing are both illegal.

Doxxing is illegal? I am against it but if it's republishing public info I don't think it can be illegal in the US unless there is an intent element.

The blog author is in Finland, so it's covered by the Article 8 right to privacy of the ECHR. The exact implementation is country dependent, I don't know how it works in Finland but in the UK we just extended the common law tort of "Breach of confidence" to it.

That is very surprising to me. As far as I know, in Finland details of your income are publicly available, but someone reposting publicly available information is illegal.

I, like almost all people, firmly believe that dropping bombs on people is okay as long as I find the target sufficiently despicable.

Why are you pretending to be surprised by this view that is held by approximately every single person in the world?

Or do you think we should have different standards for DDoS and actual violence?

Considering the site itself is an illegal archive of websites, I think its obvious most of us don't treat what's 'legal' as a guide to whats 'moral'.
