If i let you use my computer network for free, I have the right to tell you you can’t do certain things with it, and I have the right to kick you off. Why? Because it’s my property, not yours.

We don’t have to guess. We know.

The #3 user? Terrorists. 8kun was used to plan 3 different school shootings in a 6-month period.
