schestowitzTo nitpick, I did not submit a "first-person" story about Jake. I said that theAug 26 03:04
schestowitzaccusations were from credible people and not anonymous sources or governmentAug 26 03:04
schestowitzagents. I do personally also believe these.Aug 26 03:04
schestowitzI say this because one of his friends mildly harassed me about "pushing toAug 26 03:04
schestowitzremove Jake from Debian" based on "leaked emails", though of course this couldAug 26 03:04
schestowitzbe a bluff since I did *not* do that.Aug 26 03:04
schestowitzA lot of negative stories that have since surfaced about Jake, are consistentAug 26 03:04
schestowitzwith my experiences of him. But I see this as part of a broader issue withinAug 26 03:04
schestowitzthis modern-day artificial-scarcity "reputation economy" that we've built inAug 26 03:04
schestowitzdeveloped countries. Some people behave in certain ways optimised to this typeAug 26 03:04
schestowitzof economy, but it's bullshit and has zero long-term value.Aug 26 03:04
schestowitzBy focusing on the carefully-polished strategically-released "details" of theAug 26 03:04
schestowitzcurrent topic, you're allowing yourself to be exploited by such behavior. AndAug 26 03:04
schestowitzfrom another angle, some people other than Jake are also exhibiting these typesAug 26 03:04
schestowitzof behaviour, including some of his critics. If you people want to continueAug 26 03:04
schestowitztalking about this topic, do some more research and talk about this far moreAug 26 03:04

schestowitzOn the other hand, considering Jacob Appelbaum's connections and theAug 26 03:05
schestowitzmassive scale of previous attacks on him, by a state known to useAug 26 03:05
schestowitzallegations of sexual misconduct before, I'd say it's better to assume allAug 26 03:05
schestowitzsuch accusations to be false by default, even if corroborated by quite goodAug 26 03:05
schestowitzbut not entirely definitive evidence.Aug 26 03:05
schestowitzIt's not hard to coordinate an effort to produce such evidence. Heck, aAug 26 03:05
schestowitzcoordinated group against Appelbaum has already stepped up:Aug 26 03:05

schestowitzprove any evidence has been falsified, merely makes me wary.Aug 26 03:05
schestowitzThus, I'd recommend requiring a far stronger proof in this case thanAug 26 03:05

schestowitzNote: I'm not implying Appelbaum is innocent!Aug 26 03:05
schestowitzI and several other DDs are also Tor Project members, which is where theseAug 26 03:05

schestowitzpersonally spoken to some of the accusers, whom they have known as friends inAug 26 03:05
schestowitzreal life for a while. These accusers are also known and respected within theAug 26 03:05
schestowitzinfosec community, which is why you will see so many of them voicing opinionsAug 26 03:05
