Disclaimer: I do not condone nor tolerate the actions by forum members, I am just trying to make sure that people are aware about the topic and that it has legal repercussions.

Doxing the practice of researching and broadcasting any identifying info in public.

My concern is most topics in investigations doxxed potential scammers, I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty and I see this as a pretty alarming thing because if it is tolerated here then I am scared that someone with ill-intent might use the doxxing in the forum as a scapegoat for their actions despite forum members doing it with the ill intent behind. Wouldn't it be better if we report the details to authorities instead of putting it in the forum. The doxxed identity has a legal leverage which can negate the accusations.

Hopefully, everyone can understand what I want to say, this can happen to anyone and everyone here for sure cares about privacy.

PS. I feel that this might not belong here so let me know if I should delete it or move it.
22  Economy / Economics / China is winning the Economy Wars on: August 15, 2020, 06:21:14 AM
The Belt and Road Initiative is a scary neo-domination tactic that China is employing right now. This is a money trap for the poor countries (including mine) that promises prosperity but when in fact it is a ruse to take a piece of a nation's land.

Here is how I understood this money trap works. China is creating a new Silk Road that is not based of lands but most of it are in the water and air, they will offer help to third world countries by giving them funds to create infrastructures like ports, skyscrapers or airfields. There will be a timeframe for this help to be paid and as a poor country they offer exorbitant amount of money which is impossible if not difficult to be paid and then here is where the trap works, when the country can't pay the debt then the other option happens where China will have full control over the infrastructure including the land, basically they are buying lands from this nation without really buying it. Look at what happened to Sri Lanka when they haven't paid their debt.

What is the difference between China and Nazi Germany? Nazi Germany have a Swastika on their flag

23  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Oldest scam in the book can help you make money on: July 16, 2020, 06:21:17 AM
Recently, twitter accounts of famous people have been hacked and they all posted something in the line "send 1000$ and I will double it". This is the oldest trick in the scammers bible, and wouldn't you know it people fall for it. Yes the hacks should be condemned and the hackers should be apprehended because they are scamming innocent people, before we all burn these hackers in stakes we also should address the fact that these so called innocents are still falling to these thing. In my opinion these people that got their money scammed shouldn't receive any help because they are too blinded by the riches the scammers promised them, I have seen a lot of scams and this victims of bitcoin doubling scam should be ridiculed and laughed at because they have fallen for these, I am standing by that opinion because most of these victims are functioning members of the society, they are not your run of the mill old people getting scammed by tech support scammers, these so called innocent victims are not senile, so in my opinion they should not receive sympathy because they are pathetic and gullible, these makes the work of people who are trying to educate people about scams less effective because no matter how much effort they put in, these pathetic gullible losers still fall for it. This is just a rant about the recent twitter doubling scam, I was watching Crit1kal and as he continue to talk about these I felt a seething rage not for the scammer but for the victims because these is the oldest trick in the book. Feel free to disagree with me but I will stand with my opinion, can't help but to laugh at these victims falling for that. These fiasco should also be a lesson to not take things on the Internet at face value, if you are a high-functioning member of the society then ask yourself why would they give me these x amount of bitcoin/money and why should I send a bitcoin/money first?

Fake news are always existing in different world especially when something happens in our world, there are so many fake news that we may read through the use of social media.

So I will list down all that you may do to identify if it is fake news.

1. Do not believe so easily in the headlines - Make sure that you should read all the information in the articles because there are some headlines that is considered as clickbait or those that can hook up your attention.

2. Identify the source - Search for the website and search if it is came from the trusted website or media because there are websites that may copy others information and add some information on it.

3. Find other reports - Do not stick for only one report, for sure if it is real source there are other reports that you may find.

4. Check the author of the article - Most of the articles have its author at the bottom part and if the author is so famous or trusted person, then it can be a real article.

5. Always check the date - Always check the date, some people are being fooled because of not checking the date of the article.

Do not spread fake news, there is no good thing that we may have in fake news. Spreading it wont help the problem.
