There was a Mastodon post yesterday from Reuters about Rajat Khare, this post contained the article OP posted and a link to an even more interesting article about the Indian Hacking for hire that this scumbag is responsible for:

“An Indian venture capitalist is mounting an international legal campaign to pressure major media outlets to remove his name from articles or take down the stories altogether, Confider has learned.

In a move that has press freedom campaigners troubled, Rajat Khare, co-founder of Appin, an India-based tech company, has used a variety of law firms in a number of different jurisdictions to threaten these U.S., British, Swiss, Indian, and French-language media organizations.”

His name is Rajat Khare. Streisand effect activate !

I share the sentiment. But it’s a little tacky to call for a Streisand effect. It’s like saying “guys, I’m a cool dude, right?!”

Edit: bros, I know what the Streisand effect is. I just think it’s tacky that someone says “hey, let’s go Streisand effect on this person!”

It's not like saying that at all.

elbarto777 ,

It is.

I think by “Streisand effect, Engage” he is saying that the world has now engaged in the Streisand effect, not that he himself is activating the entirety of the internet and media to start pushing the idea.

elbarto777 ,

That’s not how I interpreted it. I would accept what you’re saying if OP said “engaged” instead of “engage.”

Streisand Effect is a story becoming big because it’s being surpressed. Not a promo deal.

elbarto777 ,

I know that. It just feels like when people write “Twitter, do your thing.”

Not even remotely the same.

And the original story is that:

On Nov. 16, Reuters published a special investigation under the headline “How an Indian startup hacked the world,” detailing how Appin allegedly became a “hack for hire powerhouse that stole secrets from executives, politicians, military officials and wealthy elites around the globe”

Now if someone made all those secrets public, they would become a hero.

I can’t believe it. The controversial tech mogul was behind it all along.

I was watching the swiss show as it was nuked out of YouTube 😂 had to wait hours for the reUp xD was a great show (swiss satiric late show called deville, sadly last season has aired already, but there will be a satire successor)

Sounds like someone new is going to find out about the Striesand effect. I didn’t glance at the story the first time it came around but I made sure to read it this time

I certainly didn’t know who Rajat Khare was before, but it appears billionaire Rajat Khare needs to learn his lesson for trying to keep his hame clean from this “hacks-for-hire” scheme.

Same. I didn’t even know really know about the hack for hire industry either, not that I’m doubting is existence or would have in the past lol. I’m kind of laughing at myself for not even thinking about it. Of course everything is for sale.
