She’s not harassing an innocent student.

and

I do empathize with that guy as well

are contradictory statements

No they're not.

Empathizing with the guy who programmed it: An unprovoked, targeted campaign of rape threats, death threats and harassment (and the media/legal storm that follows) against another person, all because of some little thing you coded for fun in your free time (again, giving benefit of the doubt)? And then being dragged into all of this? Yeah, I empathize like a motherfucker .

You dont think there are any leftists out here criticising the billionaire for being one the most directly polluting people on the planet?

No, I think the only people who give a shit about this are right wing concern trolls.

Based on the way you've been spelling words, it would seem you're not actually from the US. Perhaps if you lived here, you would understand the real and actual danger this kind of stochastic terrorism as we're seeing it every single day. Taylor Swift is a figure who has just recently become a major target of hate and actual legitimate death/rape threats from the right because she encouraged young people to vote (no, I wish I was kidding). I don't think she even endorsed a candidate.

The GOP is so terrified of her; this is a half-assed, stochastic call to violence against a young woman who has done nothing, and this tool has gone way far beyond basic "FAA transparency," and into tool to target and potentially ruin the lives of people who do not deserve it.

(In case anyone didn't see my previous comment: not only am I not a Taylor Swift fan, I don't think I could name more than one or two songs. And if a song of hers came on the radio, I wouldn't be able to know if it was her or not)
