of course its the same voice
you know when someone is messing up a name on purpose
Too bad you probably cant share the actual call with the hackers. Probably breaking some privacy laws there.
one guy had to keep correcting the other guy
no they want the interview published with the recording
Right so it’s just a matter of figuring out if the recording is legit or adding a disclaimer to the video.
Tim, it really just comes to my zero trust in others. Especially when it comes to assholes
Damn, this is an actual ethics case in the making
i might have to just contact a bigger outlet to help with legal and fact checking
What will you do
Oh
I think phil makes a good point
Thing is, its an exclusive scoop
These people swatted to get famous
Is it a good idea to give the hackers publicity or validation?
I imagine if someone was actually trying to harm Hogg they would have checked to make sure they were home before the swatting. If these people didn’t know who he was they also wouldn’t have known he was away.
I'm of the opinion that it's not
if it proves its not politically motivated it doesnt matter
^^
But the final say goes down to Tim
Ethically speaking, I don't think these people should be given any sort of publicity
Maybe do it in a round about way?
Well it does help if it comes out that its not politically motivated like what Tim is saying
Don't even give their twitter handles
True
this is an ethics conundrum
why should people know who did it?
shouldnt*
I just hate the idea of them getting what they wanted
should the public be allowed to see the other things these people claim?
Not when you are correcting ppl.
Well its like school shooters in a way?
^
Well, minus the dead kids.
do you think you have a right to know who did the swatting?
and why
Like there is a right there. Its just peoples reaction to it
Tim, if there's a way for you to air the information required to correct it, you should. But you should also try your best to give the individuals as little publicity as possible
Like how people reacted to the unabomber, the boston marathon bombers, or columbine
dooI have the right to trickle out tidbits of info and with hold some from the public?
