Am I crazy or did those WAAD guys themselves just link the public to potentially illegal content?

As of writing, they have a public response hosted on their website, including screenshots of emails to/from Google with URLs that Google agreed to remove. WAAD censored out the URLs, except they didn't actually because whatever paintbrush tool they used didn't have the opacity maxed out.

I'm not looking up those URLs to find out.

edit: They also leaked the Adguard admin's email, which WAAD complained about being the victim of.



God...

Here from their official "presse" announcement:

Looks like they replace the file on their website with a new, actually censored version.

WAAD seems to be reading along here. Wonder if your archive.org link now makes archive.org one of their targets.


The guy who "censored" the links should turn himself over to the police over carelessness IMO.

I mean, it's well known that governments possess and distribute more of the stuff than anyone else. Government or not, not a big surprise.
