Those campaigning for justice for the late internet activist Aaron Swartz as well as general reform to the outdated and archaic CFAA were dealt a bitter blow this week as the U.S. District Court judge handling the prosecution aligned with the wishes of the DoJ, MIT and JSTOR and refused to unseal integral case information.

Church Of Scientology In Epic Photoshop PR Picture Fail!

scientology photoshop fail portland Church Of Scientology In Epic Photoshop PR Picture Fail!
It seems that the clandestine Church of Scientology are much more adept at the art of brainwashing than they are at using Photoshop, as a poorly edited image of an event to open a new facility in Portland has been bounced all over the internet.

The Scientologists claim that the crowd who attended the grand opening was somewhere in the region of 2,500 and released this photograph to support the idea that it was a grandiose affair attended by thousands. Independent estimates however, put the number of attendees much lower, approximately somewhere between 450 and 750. Continue Reading

Mother Jones writer Josh Harkinson recently wrote a fascinating article that details how Michelle McKee, a 51-year-old woman who herself had been the victim of sexual abuse, inspired the hacktivist collective Anonymous to start an anti-rape drive and seek out justice for victims.

The collective, normally better known for going after authority figures who they feel have betrayed the public, seeking justice for other activists like the late Aaron Swartz or going after big corporations are now becoming known for the anti-rape rallies and for the work they do to make sure perpetrators of rape are prosecuted for their heinous crimes.
