A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is going to be another Panama files isn't it? Overwhelming evidence that billionaires are shits and world governments everywhere collectively do fuck all about it.
I'm certain some people will go to jail.
You can't just release information about politicians and billionaires and not go to jail.
well, cars might explode.
I think they were able to recoup a few billion in taxes or something, but like, no arrests or anything. I think one person got killed exposing it too.

Yes, journalist Daphne Galizia was murdered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daphne_Caruana_Galizia#Panama_Papers
Can people just stop spreading this demoralizing nonsense? Maybe it's not instant-world-changing, but it's definitely not "fuck all" either.
From your links:
Von der Goltz pleaded guilty in December 2019 to conspiracy to commit tax evasion, fraud and submitting false documents. He has already repaid the government more than $230,000.
Original indictment:
These shell companies and bank accounts made investments totaling tens of millions of dollars.
Make it make sense
"Not world changing" is insulting for the amount of money these people hid to avoid taxes.
Technically only half true. They know, but they're not doing fuck all about it, they're murdering the journalists that expose the rampant corruption.
Its fake
I mean world governments are run by and for billionaires. People gotta pitchfork if they want something done about it.

4chan should go down more often lol
What a hero
Anonymous are the heroes. Thanks for posting the article!
What *an hero.
Probably too old a reference for most lol
It's an older meme, but it checks out
To clarify:
Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this ... derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s...
They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.
4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed... and then they started their own community 'Soyjack Party'.
Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.
Like... I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts... well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.
I can't prove this, because ... two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for ... less than 24hrs... but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.
For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.
My joke was implying that they had nothing better to do than infiltrate confidential Russian servers since 4chan was down. Lol
Whelp, thats a whoosh moment for me than lol.
But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P
There are going to be a lot of upset, worried, wealthy people in London today.
Good
Found this on hacker news, some people there say this data dump is total bs and for the news page itself: It's an article from an Indian right wing conspiracy news website. Check out their other hard hitting journalism: https://archive.ph/8RGAb"
The screenshot of files looks like an troll. I can't believe nobody is pointing this out.
I mean really. Who even names folders like that.
I give Anonymous credit on one thing: they're always punching upwards.
Wonder what's in the trump folder
Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all
thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"
There's a twitter thread. An account named 'Anonymous France' has posted this link : https://www.mediafire.com/file/9prdor8m7a1z9f6/Leaked+Data+of+corrupt+officials.rar/file . Cannot verify the veracity of this information, but there was a r/worldnews thread saying that's its mostly worthless. This news site is known for peddling fake news, so it might be a whole lot of nonsense.
There is nothing under the trump folder except 2 pics of possible vulnerabilities from a CMD prompt. Maybe some stuff in other data, but the trump folder is bust
Is Agent Krasnov on the list?
Trump had a folder on the picture of folders.
I don't know any more than that.
Someone please look into the Trump folder and tell us what is there
Nothing. 2 CMD prompt outputs of possible vulnerabilities, nothing concrete at all
thats all under "Leaked Data of Donald Trump"
Need to look under "K"
How is this obvious AI slop getting upvoted so much?
After the Panama Papers and similar leaks, people are ready to believe some kind of anonymous hacker collective is still out there investigating and releasing information. So they'll jump on the headline, because it resonates with their memories of historical incidents. They won't interrogate it, because they're not in the position to sift fact from fiction.
This is one of the problems with Upvote-based news aggregators to begin with. You're asking people to make evaluations of an article's interest at the headline level, rather than relying on editors and ombudsmen to sift out what information is both credible and interesting to a wide audience.
Site is not loading on my side
Surely this means Lemmy has finally reached critical mass and we're slashdotting other sites now. /s
Lemmy hug of death?
Lemmy's insignificant caress.
I'd download this but I'm worried it could also contain some form of advanced spyware, and my "security computer" needs a new screen cable at the moment.
they should release magnets of chunks of the data
