Every old business model fights to save itself, and accuses the new business model of some nefarious intent. Sears->Walmart Taxis->Uber/Lyft Barnes&Noble->Amazon Yahoo->Google Newspapers->Slashdot/Reddit/Blogs etc. etc. Business is best when new, healthy models overtake old, unhealthy businesses. It is called "creative destruction" and it has been going on for a long, long time.

I agree that this is good that the MIT student announced his findings and acted responsibly by not publishing his findings. But, I am not sure this is covered by the first amendment, although I like that amendment a lot. For example, what about credit card information? Let us assume that someone hacked into Visa's system because it was hackable. Is that free speech if someone posts private credit card information to the internet?
