The Website Made Me Do It...
from the blame-the-web dept
Oliver Wendell Jones writes "In Japan, they are now looking at blaming the regular use of the internet for the recent death of a student, slain by another student, reportedly for retaliation for the victim saying bad things about the attacker's wardrobe on her website." When you can't blame someone else, I guess you have to look for something else to blame. Personal responsibility is so last millennium.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
