Tate is currently facing several legal investigations in Romania and the U.K. for rape and child sex trafficking charges. In recent comments, he has said men who enjoy heterosexual sex purely for pleasure (rather than for creating children) are actually gay. He has also said that women belong in the home, are men’s property, and bear responsibility for when they are raped.

Near the end of last month, hackers reportedly said they were able to access The Real World’s data through a site “vulnerability” — they described the site’s cybersecurity as “hilariously insecure.” The hackers then gained access to the site’s 221 public and 395 private chat servers and also “to upload emojis, delete attachments, crash everyone’s clients, and temporarily ban people,” the group said in a statement shared by The Daily Dot.

One chatroom user’s comments complained about the “LGBTQ agenda,” and others complained that the chat servers are “useless” due to “all the spam.”

In July, a group of “gay furry hackers” known as SiegedSec released 200 gigabytes of leaked data from the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that authored Project 2025, the blueprint for the second presidency of President-elect Donald Trump/

By servers they must mean rooms, right? Because 395 chat servers would be enough for hundreds of millions of people

Probably they mean server as in Discord server. Whether that’s accurate for Rocket chat they based it off, I don’t know.

This is pretty nerdy and technical but to add insult to injury these losers also abused the open source software they used to make it. Im hoping this situation allows the developers to sue for clear malicious and profiteering of oss without respect to the license.

Unfortunately, the GPL (and similar AGPL used by the software in question) is pretty toothless. If they wanted to spend the money to persue this in court, pretty much all they can get out of it is them coming into compliance with the license. If they are a great tech company that invested significant engineering effort to actually improve the software, that would be worth something.

However, I doubt that is the case. Whatever tweaks they made are likely not even worth the effort of reviewing, so even pursuing license compliance doesn’t have a real upside. This is why you rarely see GPL enforced.
