Gregory's Server@paramdeo @tychi you may change your opinion on Swartz when you realise that his position on “freedom of speech” and “anti-censorship” extended to arguing that he had a right to possess and distribute CSAM: https://web.archive.org/web/20031229025933/http:/bits.are.notabug.com/
Swartz was smart and talented, but certain of his opinions are attractive to certain types of creeps, trolls, and fools who built a cult of personality around a dead man.
@PennyOaken @paramdeo @tychi it's really challenging, i think, for us to all look back on the early days of the internet and realize that it was all built by talented people who ultimately belonged on the early internet
