Several days ago, I reported congress passing a law that would kill Internet privacy. Many don’t like this. But some others take action, or threaten to. Then there’s Max Temkin. He’s the founder of party game, ‘Cards Against Humanity’. He threatened to reveal all of Washington’s dirty little secrets. So could someone expose Congress Web history?
But he doesn’t want to stop there. Temkin also talked about buying the browser history of every Congressman. Then, he publishes it. He put this up on social media this week. Hence, as you can imagine, the response was quick and plenty. Furthermore, he urged people to the Electronic Frontier Foundation. They fight for online privacy rights.
This comes in the wake of Congress voting to repeal laws protecting online privacy. After the vote, Temkin took to Twitter. One can feel his frustration. Yes, this move upset a lot of people. But few talk about buying Congresses’ records. ?Someone started a Go Fund Me page. But I doubt Temkin is behind this page. However, this Go Fund Me page is raising cash to buy Congress web history. So far, they raised $160,000. The original goal was $10,000. Yes, there are a lot of upset folks out there.
But Temkin cautions people about Go Fund Me pages raising money to buy records. However, if someone can obtain these records, he won’t hesitate to publish them. That’s the last thing Congress wants, especially in this volatile political climate. Trust me. The last thing anybody wants to do is upset a IT support leader or computer repair worker. Don’t tick off anybody that high up in tech as Temkin is. If the cause fits the situation, they will expose you, especially if you’re doing wrong. And this bill is wrong. I don’t know is selling and publishing records is the right way to go about it. But I’m certainly don’t condemn it. So let’s suppose they do get and release Congress web history. Would that be wrong? Or would they get a taste of their own medicine?
