And then it's posted and discussed at hackernews.

What a false and whiny post. Mozilla is collecting the user's browsing history and sells it. All they care for is their own benefit. They are no different than Apple, Google, FB, Amazon and of course Microsoft. But they are false. Like Google telling us "don't be evil" ... ha, ha, ha

They all want to make the world a better place. Yes, sure. And Facebook is building large drones to bring the internet to Africa for education. Oh, what a noble act.

They already get all the data they want.

I'm shocked by the downvotes.

This is excactly the problem. And it's not a little problem.

This is how absolutistic ruling starts. Most often from crisis and always with the excuse to do good for the country. I agree to some comments here that they needed a plan B, but you can't overstep your even as prime minister or finance minister given authority. Kim Jong-un states that he's just protecting his people from the evil rest of the world.

I agree that they wouldn't have the time to tell the markets or other countries. But Tsipras and Varoufakis didn't even tell the Greek Government. And hacking a bank is still illegal.

Even though he was finance minister he was/wouldn't have beeen not authorized performing some of the actions done (e.g. "A secret cell at the Greek finance ministry hacked into the government computers") or planned. Even the prime minister has not the authority for such decicsions. As in other democracies the parliament has to vote. Calling it treason depends on the point of view. We'll never know wether it would have been for the country's advantage. I highly doubt it. However, Varoufakis actions were illegal and dictatorial. They were an act against democracy and therefore I guess, yes, they were treasonous.
