  4. OT: German artists brilliantly honeypot ‘Nazis’ into exposing themselves and their friends

    Excerpt:
    But in a surprising twist, ZPS yesterday revealed the site was a front for an elaborate honeypot operation. While they did previously identify over 1500 individuals who participated in the protest, the real goal of the site was to get far-right sympathizers to search for themselves and their friends.

    Since yesterday, the site no longer offers a search and identification function, but a message that starts with “Thank you, dear Nazis.”

    In the message, ZPS explains how they used the search box on their site to create “the most relevant set of data on right-wing extremism that currently exists in Germany,” or so ZPS founder Philipp Ruch claims to German news agency EPD.

  5. :joy: Ya’ll come back now, heah?
