If somebody says &quot;it is obvious that this is illegal and the person should be in jail,&quot; and then somebody else says &quot;well all these other people did it and they we&#x27;re scrutinized for it but didn&#x27;t go to jail,&quot; then perhaps the reasonable thing to conclude is that it is not an act that somebody should go to jail for.<p>I mean, that&#x27;s the only thing I can conclude.  If you&#x27;re assuming a priori that there&#x27;s a crime, then you&#x27;re putting the cart before the horse.<p>When you&#x27;re assuming that counter points can only come from some sort of paid posters, you&#x27;re being disrepectful.<p>This is why political topics are bad in HN.  There&#x27;s no news for nerds in here, just lots of people playing fast and loose with the facts to score political points.
