Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

Hard to forget "12345."
That's the same password I have on my luggage!
Yo luggage ain't got five clicks liar
Mine is 420. Curious how many others use this.
I mean, it's not like Forgot Password forms are a modern day thing
Unless you're just making a joke that I whooshed then you can just ignore me lmao
I think their point was just that he has control of the account. Whether that's because he knew the password, or used a forgot password link doesn't really matter, he would have to control the email for that account to reset the password.
It’s unclear why the posts were deleted after the CNN story published.
OMG that is making me laugh
Ive got s sneaking suspicion why... but after cnn reports on it... why would you bother?
Im not saying that this move makes it more incriminating but... Wait. that does make it more incriminating. What was i thinking?
What a dumbass.
Lmao he used his actual name?
How did they know his password was hunter2?
Why did you type *******?
"It's not me, it was AI! Also, I deleted them all!"
The official name for that logical fallacy is "Kettle Logic".
Did an AI do that too? /s
Oh and you expected shit to just make sense when Skynet and John Conner are constantly rewriting our timeline?
This is low key terrifying
Makes sense. Just curious if it was robinson or Nude Africa who nuked the posts. Because I am sure plenty of users did not want to experience the scrutiny of people looking for more dookie chute posts by a politician.
when this story broke i had a look at "Nude Africa"
No one... No one has touched that site in a developement or administrator capacity since the early 2000s.
I half expected pictures to load in line by line while my modem sang to me
Damn, quickly logged back in and did some damage control, lol.
How the fuck is he supposed to prove he didn't make those posts?
He isn't because he obviously did. If someone had maliciously created an account on a porn site registered to his full name and using a screenname he also used on other websites over ten years ago, then posted his own political views and declared his love of transgender porn, all in order to smear his name, I very much doubt that they'd sit on that for ten years.
Hehehehe
I'm not questioning his guilt, I'm questioning how someone possibly proves they didn't make a post.
I think the easiest way to prove he didn't is to prove someone else did. I don't think he will be able to do that easily, particularly because I think he made those posts.
Nah he just needs the right patsy. Patsy with a dick.
After all this time, probably only of he can prove someone else did it. I doubt the site still has IP logs from back then and obviously there's no having an alibi in this case.
Does it matter now? They’re out in the wild.
It matters because he’s going to accuse CNN of making it all up.
