    Stop posting US politics here. Why would anybody outside the US who comes here for “Technology” be interested in that?!

      Seriously, IDGAF where it is, this post is not about technology at all.

        Exactly! Why are we even downvoted for this? People with political agendas are increasingly using every popular sub for posting their shit. Don’t care. Don’t want to see it.

      Just because the technology involves politics shouldn’t mean it can’t belong here also.  Why do they have to be mutually exclusive?  I’m not pushing my beliefs on anyone here.

      If you read the article (which I can only assume you did), it goes into detail about a how even  hackers from Black Hat and DEFCON (two well known cybersecurity conventions) were donating to a cause they believe in.  It even goes on to talk about hacking voting machines.

      Seems like “technology” to me.

        Literally every second word is about politics, names or institutions. Technlogy was merely mentioned.

      I hate this stigma, hackers aren’t criminals, yes there are criminal hackers, but hackers aren’t criminals, I don’t have the time or patience to type out everything on my phone, but look up events like defcon, without friendly hackers our cyber security would be a joke.
