Social media is part of the problem, but it isn't the whole problem. What we need is to take the holistic view, to see that social media, its architecture and design, maximize controversy for profit, and that there will never be a technological solution to stop online hate and harassment, because it is rooted not in code, but in human behavior.

'Aloria' noticed that Appelbaum had filed [a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request](https://archive.is/3rgTR) regarding Kaminsky, who had [just passed away](https://archive.is/SryfJ). (In the United States, the [Privacy Act of 1974](https://web.archive.org/web/20210501072104/https://www.justice.gov/opcl/privacy-act-1974) ordinarily "prohibits the disclosure of a record about an individual from a system of records absent the written consent of the individual," unless or until you submit "[proof that the individual is deceased](https://web.archive.org/web/20210421023152/https://www.foia.gov/faq.html).") Lum commented, "[Nice try, fuckface](https://archive.ph/C6r28)." Macrina described the request as "[despicable](https://archive.is/ylLMT)." Wolf stated, "[Just for one second he can’t act like a decent human being](https://archive.is/2tb8U)."

Quintin accused him of trying to "[use Dan Kaminsky's name to worm his way back into the hacker community](https://archive.is/wxKUC)" and promised to "[burn everything down before giving one ounce of forgiveness to serial rapists like Jacob](https://archive.is/gXtDH)," who "[are all weeds in the proverbial garden of our communities](https://archive.is/piLJf)."
