          Literally try all the low hanging fruit on anything official from this administration. They’re so legitimately incompetent that they aren’t even auditing basic security protocols.

            with no investigation and little thought I will confidently state they’re using AI to “redact” this shit with predictable results

              Probably not AI, but they’re just not using serious redaction tech that actually scrubs the text and are instead just changing the background color or doing some other really simple things.

          Not yet, they found it today. 90% are fully blacked out of course, and the rest have all new co-conspirators blacked out. We do know that there were several other people mentioned as co-conspirators though with Ghislane being one of the lower tiers

        If the country weren’t so damnably hawkish, it would be an incredible boon for it to be run by people so grossly moronic

    When a pedophile rapist piece of shit only hires unqualified incompetent yes men, this is the results. The empire will fall soon enough by its own cumbrance and it will be glorious.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
