| "Aiding and Abetting" crime is also a crime. Free speech has nothing to do with it. |

| ▲ | quotemstr 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Has anyone actually been convicted of abetting a crime by selling a vulnerability, by itself, not conspiring with the buyer to commit a crime using said vulnerability? Not as far as I can see. It would be absurd to jail someone for accurately describing a bug. | | | |

| ▲ | fc417fc802 an hour ago | parent [-] | | No, it is a limit on free speech but it is one of several that various governments (and cultures as a whole) throughout the world have upheld fairly consistently. Free speech is more or less an unachievable platonic ideal that we aspire to. Success varies, as do the compromises made along the way. Speaking more generally, don't let your ideals bias your judgment. Just because you support policy X and also view ideal Y as good that doesn't mean that X isn't detrimental to Y. It's important to be objective about these things. |

| Telling someone the steps to rob a bank world probably catch you some charges, I'm assuming. |
