This is the #StreisandEffect in action for #Appin:
“A Startup Allegedly ‘Hacked the World.’ Then Came The Censorship – And Now The Backlash”, Wired (https://www.wired.com/story/appin-training-centers-lawsuits-censorship/).
#StreisandEffect takes a while, sometimes.
Protesting too hard.
"The New Yorker, for instance, had mentioned a subsidiary of Appin Technology and Rajat Khare in a feature about India's hacker-for-hire industry in June of last year. It was sued by Appin Training Centers, but has kept its piece online while the lawsuit proceeds. (The New Yorker and WIRED are both published by Condé Nast.)'
Nice to have heft in this case.

When dirtbags seek to abuse the legal system to censor bad press about their shady operations, it's a good thing we have well-resourced, deep-pocketed media outlets like TechDirt to hold the line.
I can only hope that this "Reuters" outfit (some sort of trade publication, I think?) can use this as an opportunity learn a few things about actual journalism from TD. Though honestly, they might need to consider rebranding.

- round of applause to techdirt!
A Startup Allegedly ‘Hacked the World.’ Then Came the #Censorship—and Now the Backlash - https://www.wired.com/story/appin-training-centers-lawsuits-censorship/ "A loose coalition of anti-censorship voices is working to highlight reports of one Indian company’s hacker-for-hire past—and the legal threats aimed at making them disappear." #appin
This silly goose doesn't want you to know what he's up to, and he's up to no good, so you should know this

How a Judge in India Prevented Americans From Seeing a Blockbuster Report
Free speech on the internet took a huge hit when the news agency Reuters took down an important hacking investigation to comply with an overseas legal challenge.

I figured he would have just had it deleted, but I don't see a history for it either. There is a (very short) one about his company:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appin_(company)
I hope he gets a good, close look at the #Streisand Effect over the next few months.

The town of #Appin is being rezoned to grow 13 times bigger but there's still no #infrastructure plan. #developers #propertylobby #lobbying #BetterNotBigger
@skua so why not support the #reporting by reuters?
#Appin, is a #cybersecurity #startup-turned hacker-for-hire shop. They basically amount to an #AdvancedPersistentThreat (APT) looking for a bounty.
I don't like when governments act this way.
Why would I want to silence reporting on what is basically hacking for the highest bidder for the wealthy and well healed?
