Oh look, another tech giant treating open knowledge initiatives like their personal data buffet. Let me translate this corporate nonsense for you:
Meta: "We need training data for our AI!" Also Meta: Let's leech 81.7TB from a community project without contributing anything back.
The absolute audacity of downloading terabytes through torrents while their employees were internally admitting it was "legally problematic". And the best part? They couldn't even be bothered to seed properly - just grab and go, classic corporate behavior.
Remember when companies actually contributed to open source instead of just parasitically consuming it? But no, they'd rather burden volunteer-run projects with massive bandwidth costs while their lawyers probably bill more per hour than these projects' entire monthly budget.
Pro tip Meta: If you're going to pilfer knowledge from the commons, at least seed back properly. Your "move fast and break things" motto isn't supposed to apply to community archives.
Elon’s talent scout strikes again—plucking cyber-grifters from the ”DDoS daycare” alumni. Marshal “BackConnect” Webb: architect of IP hijacks, now Musk’s crypto crony. Peak nepo-baby meets cyber-shenanigans.
Remember when Krebs exposed his sketchy little empire? Cue the ”biggest DDoS ever”—four days of digital tantrums because someone’s feefees got hurt. Pathetic.
The Com™️: where ethics go to die and grifters get diplomas. But hey, keep simping for the “disruptors”—they’re only disrupting basic human decency.
Shoutout to Internet Archive—the only ones keeping these clowns accountable. The rest of us? Just circus peanuts.
