Well this is what happens when people use cancel culture on anyone that they disagree with, especially career twitter archaeologists who dig up old tweets and put them out of context.
The result? A pioneering hacker in computer science, free software and privacy that has been shamed for wrong-thinkery, and has been financially suffocated, censored, and successfully cancelled. This cancel-culture is disgusting and is utterly unacceptable to treat anybody like this, no matter what their views are.
