I asked the forum's management to protect me, but I don't think that is possible now @Shell B because I have been noticing the dramatic increase in spam in the forum.. HRW itself exposed this government and how it tracks activists, but would the forum mods protect me or even care? frankly I started to believe that my information can be handed to the Saudi government if Tibs left the place and people I don't trust took power here

Tracking in the Kingdom is very very dangerous because if I was found -or any activist was found-; a fate similar to Kashoggi's murder awaits; and people inside the kingdom are literally muffled through torture and murder

This is from HRW: https://www.hrw.org/news/2014/06/27/saud...identified#

and another proof

@Shell B the government I'm under does actually do that: https://www.businessinsider.com/saudi-ar...er-2019-11

we actually used to have a map of members somewhere on the site

Why would anyone want to do that? Also, I'm not entirely sure you could get that info, even if you hacked the site. You might get like the country or state they're in, but not much else.

Somebody who wants to track down the location of a member for example

Lmao who the fuck wants to hack anyone here

You have a point, the higher your profile the higher is the skill of the hacker targeting you. The hacking was related to the bitcoin -hackers used the accounts to ask for bitcoin transfering-, ironically Trump's account left untoched while Biden's account was with the names hacked

I doubt that this website is as important a target to hackers as the Twitter accounts of people like Gates, Bezos and Obama. I am sure no site is beyond its hackers but I doubt they'll be targeted by the same people who hack the Twitter accounts of such people.

If these names are hacked, then how safe are we on AF ? I confirm that this site became a target for bots and trolls..

twitter was hacked, the accounts targeted include "Bill Gates","Bezos","Obama" and more !

@WinterHold I agree. I encourage everyone to vote, pro or con. This is a pretty big deal.
