You don't have to be a chud to take chud money friend. At the very least places with more deniability as a "platform for people to just ask questions" could hire decently reputable MSSPs* and choose not to, and there are definitely defense side people who will take boat money every so often to manage the security side of things and don't give a gently caress about who or what they're doing it for.


*Well, as reputable as any of those business can be at least.

Well yeah, a tenant of the far right faith is "you don't get rich by giving money to other people" so only the ideologically motivated work for them

It's Hellworld 2021. Given where we are a Twitter CEO that ruthlessly exploits everyone and everything around them strictly for the most money is an improvement over Jack "Nazi-coddler" Dorsey.

Yup. They're required to block those accounts in countries that have strong hate speech laws such as France and Germany so they know how to identify them. They decided it's just fine to let them operate elsewhere to signal boost their message, as this makes user numbers go up.

I forget who said it but sites should be judged by the worst content they tolerate. I know SA isn't perfect but I do appreciate if some bozo showed up with a swastika AV they'd be perma'd within the hour.

It’s just that defense is hard, cyber security is expensive and chud groups that aren’t sponsored by billionaires or governments don’t have the money to afford them, has lots of members that aren’t willing to do basic opsec even more so than the left, and don’t think about opsec or just keeping it simple and secure because the government generally doesn’t go after them.

I was a (very junior) cyber security analyst and I think the “right wing IT people are on the offensive side” is nonsense, it’s nearly the exact same skill set. It’s just a question of both who can afford it plus the fact that the right creates giant targets by openly creating giant centralized formal paramilitary orgs, something the left just can’t do.

Compared to the past most of the worlds best hacking groups are state or organized crime motivated by money/power, the era of lone political hackers being the main thing is past. Hackers like Phineas phisher, Jeremy Hammond, Weev and deletescape are the minority.

How far-right extremist groups face exposure from army of hacktivists
Data leaks and breaches by so-called ‘ethical hackers’ – often assisted by poor security practices – have exposed inner workings of groups and the nature of the movement as a whole

Hacktivists doing god's work. Also it seems like every single thing the alt-right and ultra conservatives and Trumpers do has hilariously bad cyber security and basically leave open windows and doors everywhere.
