Now, according to BBC, Wikileaks has released another incredible piece of [the CIA] arsenal. Wikileaks reportedly released the code that the CIA uses to disguise the origins of a computer virus as a part of Vault 7.
These hacking tools reportedly include decoy languages like Russian to disguise the national origins of the cyber attack or malware. The release may disrupt the CIA's current operations and reveal previous cyber operations.

WTF is wrong with you dude?
You stated a premise, I responded to the premise.
'You' were never invoked.
And the only one here having a tantrum is you.
By far.

unsure which a non cow is which, but if the same:
1. 'WTF' is shorthand for coarse discourse, should such lowlifes who use it be banned to keep SN pure and unadulterated ? ? ?
2. is censorship for the sake of neatness a good quality or a bad quality, discuss among yourselves...
3. YOUR words -though void of the four letter variety- are offensive to me (yet i not only allow them, but defend your right to say them); who 'wins' that censorship contest ? ? ?
who is the arbiter ? ? ?'
when one side allows all speech, and one allows only approved speech; who is more free ? ? ?
freedom means the freedom to fuck up, so buck up, and suck it up, buttercup...

Your response is a shallow misdirection.
The question is, what do you value more?
Wallowing around in the mud, constantly having the same arguments about self-evident truths and never getting beyond them because freedom.
Or building on an accepted baseline of common ground so as to get to a deeper understanding of issues.
Like I said originally, the smart people who want insightful discussion will go elsewhere when they realize how non-productive the first option is.
You can call them snowflakes to make yourself feel better. But in the end the smart people will still leave and all you'll be left with is the mud and the pigs.
What is the point of 'free speech' anyway if the only ideas heard are the lowest common denominator? Is eternal september really your highest aspiration?
