Indeed. If I were among these 84,000 site owners, I would be talking to a lawyer about a very large libel suit.

The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) should at least now make clear that all those sites were unrelated to that kind of activity. A very simple way of doing this that costs next to nothing is by publishing a list of those 84,000 domains at their own site saying they had nothing to do with it. That way, site owners could link to that page and clear their reputation.

Submission + - Is Setting Up an Offshore IT Help Desk Ethical? 3

theodp writes: 'Except for a few odd jobs,' wrote an advice seeker to The Ethicist (NYT), 'I had been out of work for nine months when I was offered a job setting up an [IT] offshore help desk. Would it be ethical to accept the offer?' Randy Cohen, who pens The Ethicist column for the Times, not only advised the job seeker that it was indeed okay to help co-workers lose their jobs, but also seemed to suggest that it would be unethical for him not to offshore the jobs, saying: 'Some people feel we have a greater ethical duty to those closest to us — our neighbors — but in an era of global trade and travel, that is a recipe for tribalism and its attendant ills.' The job seeker, who noted his father's auto-industry job was outsourced, chose to ignore Cohen's ethics advice — as well as his own wife's — and declined the job out of principle. He continues to seek work. Comments?

Comment Re:Hacking Facebook to Plant Evidence (Score 1) 191

Maybe I didn't explain it well. If Facebook posts are being used as evidence to incriminate someone, then by hacking that someone's account and posting illegal stuff on his/her behalf, that someone could get into a lot of trouble. How can Mark Zuckerberg prove he didn't post himself that ‘social business' stuff linking to Nobel Price winner Muhammad Yunus? What f it had linked to illegal stuff, is he responsible for that, since it originates from his account?
