Wonder if teh internet sees Trump as the candidate for freedom on the internet...
Why? Exposing the left-wing fascists shouldn't entail any kind of support for other fascists.
All other things equal, yes. But why? Who knows, one of many possible observations that could be made... Trump is now directly quoting and praising wikileaks and through that elevating the surrounding parts of the internet / actors / voices / tech that are making wikileaks happen and possible. So it's a happy deal between them. At least until the tide of the intertubes turns its focus elsewhere. But still, for right now, a deal that will last and profit so long as they remain friends. (Whether or not the internet should take friends is another subject.) Meanwhile Hillary et al seem to be doing all they can, including breaking law and ethic, just to stop the flow of sunshine, of information... ie: to stop teh internets, like Arab Spring in reverse. The internet doesn't like that, at all, *do not like!* And tor project is busy kissing the left as usual. The internet doesn't seem to have much activity or interest in doxing Trump, probably because he's mostly a brick and mortar sort of business, not really a politician with any deep geopolitical conspiracies to crack. Which leaves whatever media big scoop of grabbing pussy as just a meme and moment of comic relief for them as it is, before they get back to real business doxing the left.
