  Doxxed himself via a picture of a pizza box from a local Romanian pizza chain, amazing job police!

  i read on twitter that they released him.

  social media (and twitter in particular) has caused an absolute damage to public discourse about anything at all. i don't know that person and have zero interest in what he does. but reading his supporters and non-supporters, likewise, on twitter leaves me in awe. human trafficking is now politicized?

  how did we get there?

  real victims are out there, and mouthpieces are amusing themselves on twitter. i can see this posing serious challenges in the future to any agency trying to sort these things out.

  Not sure why HN cares about Tate. He has nothing to offer this crowd.
