Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The legal term is: unauthorized access to a computer system.

No, the legal definition is this:

In a legal context, hacking is a term for utilizing an unconventional or illicit means to gain unauthorized access to a digital device, computer system, or network.

So this wasn't illicit, because the FBI publicly published the data. So the argument has to be made with "unconventional". This is what I disagree on.

Think about it in any other way? So I'm just walking down the street... I see a house.. I go open a door.. I open the fridge. Make myself a sandwich. Then go to a bedroom that's not mine. Put on some underwear that isn't mine and leave some stains on the sheets...

That's illegal. There's a law for that. There are also laws that protect digital assets in a similar way, and they fall under Cybercrime.

Why don't you just go rape somebody? And clearly you have authorization to access that vagina or that butthole or mouth or however your fetish desires???

Calm down there, Epstein.

Just tell me you've been on Epstein's Island.... Jfc? Wtf is wrong with you, CeeBee_Eh?

You suck at rage baiting. I'm advocating for exposing more of the emails and not letting people refer to it as "hacking", and you're so enraged by someone disagreeing with you that you literally call that person "Epstein". I know mental health care isn't much of a thing in the US, but please find some help. For all our sakes.
