Nothing better than seeing a Nazi get what's coming to them, but how do we know this list is genuine? And if it is genuine, how do we know it hasn't been compromised? Are you sure EVERY name on there is a BNP supporter. Are you sure EVERY address on there homes a BNP supporter? If not, what use is it?Lozzer wrote:Come and get your nazis!

They've been pwned again!

Even if we assume that the list did originate from a BNP database we can't be sure the list is completely accurate. I could apply to the BNP for information with someone else's details. In light of the last debacle, I wouldn't put it past the BNP to put innocent names in the list and then capitalise on any misfortune that befell those people on publication of the list. And once this list floats around the Internet, it is compromised and therefore useless.floppit wrote:I think that one was accurate because it included a guy that lives round the corner from us and he is DEFIANTLY pro BNP, he puts placards up!

'pretty damn confident' doesn't cut it as evidence. Kent Hovind is pretty damned confident the world was created in seven days.born-again-atheist wrote:The list is true until proven otherwise.BlackBart wrote:Even if we assume that the list did originate from a BNP database we can't be sure the list is completely accurate.

Rule of the internets 101.
Also note wikileaks is a bit of pedant when it comes to this shit. If it's wrong, then all hell and fury will reign down on to whoever provided it to them. Whoever submittied it would have been pretty damn confident it was real.
That's why we have the phrase 'beyond all reasonable doubt' in law. We cannot take this as evidence of wrongdoing on any of the members of this list, because the source is anonymous. We have no idea of it's veracity or accuracy.born-again-atheist wrote:Because nothing ever published will ever be '100% certain',
Again, as you said, you cannot be 100% certain of that.born-again-atheist wrote:but this was taken from the BNP itself, and it is a list of their members
If a case of defamation comes up against wikileak the onus will be on them to prove the veracity of the claim. They probably won't get much help on that from the BNP. And again, that won't help the poor innocent sod with petrol poured though his letterbox.born-again-atheist wrote:Any manufactured names are products of the BNP and not the responsibility of wikileaks or any other party.
it doesn't matter if it wikileaks is authentic! We cannot take it for granted that the BNPs data itself is authentic - just because someone's name is on that list does not prove they are card carrying Nazis. If there is the possiblity that publicly publishing this list exposes just one non-BNP member to risk of public retribution then it's the wrong thing to do. It's a lazy and sensationalist way of tackling a very real threat to our society.born-again-atheist wrote:![]()
Until such a problem arises, I'm not willing to question the authenticity of wikileaks, given their history and the amount of shit they've exposed.
Not least of which was our Government's very own blacklist for an internet filter it was trying to impose on us.
