@arstechnica This is atrocious. Truly atrocious and shark behavior to hunt down people for discussions and wanting to ruin their lives. 🤢

@arstechnica

It's important to be able to freely discuss media piracy. I'm not advocating for media piracy, but we need to be able to talk about it candidly in a variety of forms - current media piracy, past media piracy, and how media piracy currently fits (and has fit) into subcultures.

@arstechnica good guy Reddit! 😍😍😍

@arstechnica can we dedicate this W to the brave fighters of the mujahideen
@arstechnica VPN is so essential these days. Goodness gracious this is atrocious.
@arstechnica As much as my instinct is to say "fuck reddit!!!" it's nice to see them stand and win a ruling against the movie industry.
