re: #122 Sergey Romanov

I’m not a RPG dude, but I think I wouldn’t be off if I said they (4chan and anon) are chaotic neutral. I was impressed when they deanonymized some guy who was torturing cats.

I mean this story:
irishtimes.com

When an anonymous teenager uploaded videos of himself mistreating a small household cat to YouTube, the crime was in what he had done, not that hed shown the world the evidence. But what happened next was a direct result of that upload. Its either an illustration that justice can be reached even in the less salubrious parts of the net; or it shows that sometimes the net reaches further into the real world than most people are comfortable with. The video that Timmy uploaded to YouTube is hard to watch: it shows two teenagers taking a cat into a bathroom (or laboratory as the on-camera teenager, disguised in a balaclava, calls it) and recording its yowling as they torture it. Presumably the kids thought that the video would only be seen by a few friends or that their anonymity would be preserved.
