Unrelated to the content of the article, but what a wonderful site text.npr.org is. It looks like a slightly enhanced version of my iPhone's reader mode and it displays instantly, scrolling with no lag, stuttering, or dynamic loading of page elements.

I wish more of the web were like this.

The Germans knew to identify ex Stasi and their informants so they know who to beware of.

The real importance of this is archival. Who knows what would have been burned and shredded to protect the masked brutes.

Good. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.

> exposing the names, phone numbers and addresses

> Ottignon, who has worked on similar data leak projects in the past, rejected suggestions that he and others connected to the Department of Peace or Distribution[sic] Denials of Secrets were doxing government employees.

Do words mean nothing anymore?

Dozens of the names, at least, correspond to J6 individuals.

It amazes me how this hack is praised by some commentators just because it serves their purposes. Since when are crimes laudable?
