First things first: The Missing Link!

Dmitry Bogatov (maintainer for several Debian packages and a TOR exit node) was arrested in Moscow, accused of endorsing violence and mayhem. The Debian project reacted by - besides giving their moral support - revoking access rights based on his private key as a precaution, in case the key gets compromised.

    Did he make a tweet that rubbed the Donald the wrong way?

    Is he gay?

    Was it the Tor exit node?

    Is Haskell really that offensive of a language?

    Inquiring minds want to know.

    Did he make a tweet that rubbed the Donald the wrong way?

    Hard to say. He might have asked Trump to release his taxes.

    Is he gay?

    Irrelevant. There are, by definition, no gay people in Russia.

    Was it the Tor exit node?

    I can't tell.

    Is Haskell really that offensive of a language?

    module Main where main :: IO ()main = putStrLn "Yes it is"

      How to be gay in Russia with these girls?

    He was running a haskell powered website on tor which consisted of gay Trump/Putin porn

    From the summary:

    accused of endorsing violence and mayhem.

    So, it was not Haskell, sexual orientation of any kind or insulting Trump...

      Endorsing violence and mayhem?
      So he's a Perl programmer then?

    what did he do specifically?

    Its Russia so what someone is charged with has some relationship to what they did but its a bit more fuzzy than we're used to in the west.

    Right now he's being charged with inciting and organizing "antifa" riots and is using his TOR node as his defense.

    Whats actually going on, well, who knows.
