Wow, the users of 4 chan, and Reddit are so meticulous about making backups of their threads.

WAPO has already used a doctored by u/spez quote in an article. This really was a stupid move by him. The implications of his ability to falsify and manipulate anything if he so pleases is pretty frightening.

JR could modify a post here and have me (or anyone else) appear to be threatening the life of the president. But he would never do that...which is why we’re here.

That is some VERY SICK STUFF at Reddit.

The implications of a lot of this web stuff are pretty frightening.

On a more direct & current level, I usually don’t listen to Kim Komando, but a few days ago, I caught her show as she discussed the extent to which internet users “data” is mined to affect what you see. Even the prices on Amazon, for example, may be “tailored” to you...
