ask him yourself, make him post something with his key.

irregardless: Even if he's Satan himself, and his reasons for leaving have nothing to do with code, and the code's good, code's good.

E-celeb thread is still e-celeb. The thread would be better if OP would have posted something like:

Jacob Appelbaum leaves Tor, his commit changes under scrutiny:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/log/?qt=grep&q=Jacob+Appelbaum
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/log/?id=f79a75f59731eab85c019c41827c0c0e89d90498&qt=committer&q=jacob%40appelbaum.net

So some of the Twitterati are claiming that Jake is a practitioner of the struggle snuggle, and that that's why he is parting ways with Tor.

I never cared for him, but my instinct with these Twitter rape accusations is always not to believe them, probably partially in reaction to a sentiment expressed in that HN thread, which is that it's obvious that if he's being accused of rape, then he should be let go from the Tor project because he's obviously a rapist.

I don't find that obvious at all. There's been no suggestion (that I've seen) that Applebaum has actually been formally accused of anything, that he's been investigated, arrested, or charged, let alone convicted. What that means is that people who are willing to make fake rape accusations hold an enormous amount of power over innocent people. Unfortunately, there are many such women in the world. True psychopathy is rare, occurring in about 1% of the population, but that still means that there are millions of women walking around who will destroy a man with no qualms if they are inclined to do so. And given the power of social media mobs to get people fired, or evicted, or otherwise ruin their lives, it doesn't even take much effort.

SJWs want to argue that sex is no big deal, and that it's not only okay but desirable for them to be "sluts", but then want to act like rape is the worst crime in the world, the only one for which the accused should be assumed to be guilty until he can be proven innocent. Then, of course, they go on to trivialize actual rape by so watering down the concept that it becomes meaningless.

So far, there's no information about this. People are accusing Jake for being a "rapist", probably in a figurative way.
Some others are writing (((Jake))), which is a sign to say that he's a Jew.
Well, fuck it. I like his talks on CCC, though, would be bad if he stop doing that too.

There was a link on Hacker News earlier today that linked to a site accusing Applebaum of being a rapist. They shut that link down so quick. Faster than the ((( Jew ))) meme article yesterday.

Here's the issue: Why does it even matter if said person is a rapist, illuminati, and devil servant?
If the code is godsend, and veritably fuzzed, IT'S GODSEND.

Identity politics yield no stakes to merits. Judge a committer by their code, not their self

All I see hearsay.

I dislike that too on HHN, biased moderation just cause. I barely go there now, if at all. It's too many cliques acting like they know things, without actually reporting something new, innovative, a hacker feat!

heh, someone should ask him in one about this whole shit

Op here. I don't understand why some of you make it sound like I placed any value on the groundless claims by some random SJW whore. I said in the OP that this is slander.

To clarify why I considered this noteworthy enough to create a thread:

1. Did you look at the announcement on the Tor Project blog? Appelbaum has been quite a visible face and voice for the Tor Project for a bunch of years, and yet all the CEO (or whatever) can dedicate to the announcement is 1 (one) single sentence? Why?

2. A number of people have speculated that Appelbaum has had, at some point, access to an NSA informant other than Snowden (one of them is Bruce Schneier who himself has seen at least a part of the Snowden documents). Add to that these baseless accusations and I was immediately reminded of Julian Assange (hence the first pic).

This made me think that this was yet another case of unfounded accusations meant only to discredit, silence, and eventually extinguish a perceived adversary. Probably with political motivation.

So I wonder what's the truth behind the statement that he "stepped down" from his employment position. Did they fire him based on nothing but loud, high pitched, whining?

>implying he wrote good code

he's just a pr guy. seems like your typical sjw who takes all the credit. example: he'd push for alphabetical ordering on academic papers to make it look like he did the most work

It is really surprising that someone would post rape allegations on twitter before any official reports are out, therefore committing a potential crime. I don't believe that Jacob has gotten v& already since he talked to tor-project members according to the statement and in Germany you wouldn't be allowed to do that when you are in investigative custody which is very likely in case of rape.

Anyway, if a judge doesn't rule like expected then you are actually the one who committed a serious crime. Further you will lose your reputation.

So why risk so much? For a couple of retweets? To say 'told you so' afterwards? Just to break the news?

I don't see the incentive, the twitter fags in question don't appear that shallow.

I bet this is a ruse and Jacob will be fighting extradition soon.
