Techrights Statement on Abuse Against the Site and Families of People Who Run It
THIS is just a short statement, which will be very short (maybe too concise) so as to avoid unnecessary time-wasting and to avoid giving a platform to provocateurs who try to spoil our holiday. Maybe it should have been added to next Monday's part (to limit distraction), but timing matters here. We try to relax over Christmas.
Someone is trying to crack Rianne's account right now. It is hard to prove who does it, except based on timing, plus it is connected to the same platform where my mother was being abused (and we know who by). The British police took great interest in this aspect, as apparently it is a lot more sympathetic towards elderly women online, as opposed to spouses. Should we add this to the police report? IP address alone is not enough proof, but maybe combined with the timing information it can strengthen the case (in case we file a lawsuit). "Cracking / attempted cracking is a high crime in the UK," someone has reminded us.
Either way, this seems to be not much of a new trend but part of ongoing, non-stop, never-ending agitation and libel against the founders of GPL, GNU, and Linux (which relies on the GPL and GNU). They even started picking on the "small timers", e.g. the developer of GNU Linux-libre. The people who do this don't even have a background in the correct discipline, so they focus on tearing down GNU/Linux by libel and ad hominem tactics, boosted in social control media, which lacks fact-checking. Heck, they keep getting banned by social control media platforms. They're regarded as too extreme even for Twitter. █
