Remember when Aaron Swartz tried to do something similar and received multiple life sentences
And was intimidated so bad by the legal system he killed himself.
p sure he Epsteined himself.
Yeah, it probably wasn't murder, but considering that the US is quickly becoming a fascist oligarcny just like Russia is, and more and more American whistle blowers seem to be mysteriously dying... I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was murdered. The oligarchs are evil af and any government that can aggressively fund a baby killing genocide is also evil enough to kill people for petty reasons
To be fair, 'I wouldn't be surprised if...' isn't a testimony or claiming something happened, it's voicing a level of disillusionment with something, nothing but opinion.
He also wasn't a whistleblower he was just downloading scholarly articles from a service he had legal access to use.
The theory that he would be murdered over this is pretty wild as any college student or person with a JSTOR account has access to these same articles, so what necessitates murder in Aaron's situation? He wasn't exposing anyone or anything. It was just some douche of a federal employee trying to advance his career by "making an example" out of some kid who arguably didn't even do anything illegal.
What Swartz did was not even close. What he did was absolutely fair use. He downloaded shit from JSTOR while at MIT which is fine because MIT allows students and employees to access JSTOR. There was no evidence that he shared anything.
