Also they've got loads of photos of him in the article. They've clearly stalked him around to take photos of him. Here's one of him taking out the bins. They've gone to a lot of effort to ruin this one guy's life in particular. Very confusing.

Found the article eventually on the website and was surprised to see that the comments were all sane "what the gently caress, how is this news? gently caress off you piece of poo poo reporter/newspaper" type.

Lord of the Llamas posted:It's shameless clickbait with no news worth or public interest. People should be able to sue for poo poo like this. Considering the time and cost, the lovely byline apology that would (maybe) result and how little it would help with the stress of being exposed, I think the appropriate response around be to go to their office and brick their windows. Much cheaper, much quicker. gently caress liberalism and gently caress playing by its rules.

If you've ever worked in adult entertainment or the sex industry then you're not a real person and it's only fair for the dregs of the newspaper industry to repeatedly stalk you. After all, he had a sex. Would you want your child treated by someone who had a sex? Remember the outrage when Sasha Grey read a children's book to school children as part of a school reading program, after having previously had a sex? Brought to you by the newspaper that yells 'prudes!' at anyone who dares question Page 3.

They could have achieved the same effect by posting the article with the screencap from one of his movies and photos stolen from his social media they already had. I'm confused they went the extra mile of sending people to his house to take photos of him taking out the rubbish. It feels like more than callous uncaring 'ew gays' clickbait, it's like they really loving hate this guy. It's really vindictive.

I'd guess that it's a rainy day story that someone had in a drawer marked 'unconscionable poo poo only cunts would publish' that they feed out to their freelancers to keep them working during lean spells.

It almost feels like the result of some sloppily done blackmail gone wrong. Like some piece of poo poo journo said "do [x] or we'll publish this dirt on you" and they said "lol gently caress off". Then again Britain's garbage-tier press has driven people to suicide over "this teacher had a sex change! near children!" before, so "gay porns in are hospitals" might fall into whatever trashpile they class as human interest.

I think it's more 'he did a porns!' with a side of homophobia. But they've done it to women before, but replace the homophobia with slut shaming. They don't believe that you should be allowed a normal life after working in adult entertainment, but they also hate the 'joyless angry feminists' who want to ban it. But also support the Tories because they only want to ban the really sick filth, like 'anything we don't like'. It's the essential dichotomy of pornification, otherwise known as 'the Sun are cunts'.

UK considers new punishments for whistleblowers and journalists to deter the next SnowdenThe Verge posted:The UK government is considering new laws that target whistleblowers and journalists who obtain or share state secrets. Draft legislation proposed as part of an upcoming overhaul of the UK’s Official Secrets Acts (OSA) could see individuals jailed for up to 14 years for handling leaked information. This is a substantial increase from current laws, which carry a punishment of up to two years’ jail time and an unlimited fine, but only cover the disclosure of such leaked secrets. That's not scary at all

Baron Corbyn posted:I can't figure it out either. It feels like there has to be some deeper reason for it like some sort of vendetta. There's probably loads of people who did porn out there doing normal jobs now so why was this bloke singled out? Spurned an advance from someone on The Sun or something? Maybe The Sun is just a lovely publication staffed by lovely people who do lovely things for no reason other than they enjoy doing lovely things. My suspicion would be he has a tenuous former link with someone famous and they are using this story as a warning shot. It's what they do

Kim Jong Un is the closest thing to a modern absolute monarch, so pruning the family tree is a very obvious thing for him to do. Nam is very foolish to have left the protection of China, IMO.

I support whistleblowing etc but I've always wondered about the Katherine Gunn case. What kind of person voluntarily joins a spy agency then finds the idea of bugging the UN so morally unconscionable they can't keep quiet? It's like taking a job at a slaughterhouse even though you're vegetarian or something. I wonder what she thought GCHQ did.
