Chapter Seventy-Three: Robin Hood the Hacker
Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times devoted a large page to Chen Bo's report, showing readers in detail a full page on the topics of the threat of red capital, the rich man's control of social resources, and the gay film "Brokeback Mountain."
Although the rhetoric is shocking, the knife stabs at the fragile nerves of the general public.
But the result was beyond the expectations of the media, and most people showed a supportive attitude towards his exclusive interview remarks. The red capital threat theory is originally a product of media hype, and it has basically no impact on the ordinary life of Americans.
Supporters believe that Chen Bo's words are not rough and true. Take his cheap father-in-law Trupp as an example, he has had three wedding receptions, all of them are super models. As for how many private lovers there are, it is unknown.
Counting those rich people at the top of the list, it may be that Gates has not had any scandals. Didn't Linton still have a passionate moment with Lewinsky at his desk in the White House? And more than once...... And not just one person!
As for the issue of supporting "Brokeback Mountain", it is easier to understand, can he still step on it if he is not the boss? It's just support, and it's not coming out of the closet, it's big news that it's a fart.
In the online world, the group led by the comrade who came out of the closet even launched an online campaign of "looking at the brokeback and looking for true love", and also left a message on the official website of the White House, and the number of supporters has reached 150,000 in three days.
Fortunately, Xiao Bushi does not have the habit of "asking politics on the Internet", and there is no rule that if you leave a message with more than 100,000 supports within 30 days, you must reply, so the White House Information Office can only awkwardly reply to the reporter's on-the-spot question with the official language of "no comment".
Although the trend of the media has not reversed much, at least in the online world, Chen Bo has still won back.
Coupled with the strong promotion of various websites under the orange company, covering almost every corner of the world, there are currently less than ten countries and regions that will release the movie, the network timely announced that it will be launched simultaneously in the world when it is released in theaters, but only support members to screen, non-members will have to wait for two months.
However, if you want to join the membership, North American users only need $19.9, not only can you rent DVDs for free, but also browse all the genuine movie libraries. Europe costs 9.9 euros, while Greater China and Southeast Asia only cost 19.9 yuan.
After all, different regions have different libraries and services, so there is a corresponding price difference.
At present, the total number of screens in the entire North America region is as high as 40,000, and less than 700 are arranged for "Brokeback Mountain". What's the difference between this and losing money? Let's just move it online and see if we can open up a new battlefield.
……
At the same time, a small private jet slowly landed in a private territory in the Bahamas, not far from Miami, and a man in a gray peaked cap emerged from the plane, and although the brim of the hat was lowered, the silver hair could still be seen sticking to the back of his head, but it was particularly conspicuous.
The car was covered in black and rolled over, and when he got into the car, he drove to the seaside villa on the other side of the island with a golden sandy beach, where someone was already waiting for him.
"Robin Hood the Hacker?" Chen Bo, who was wearing a short T and beach pants and black sunglasses, sat under the grass pavilion on the beach and asked tentatively when he saw someone coming.
"You can call my real name, Julian Assange!" After the cap was removed, the skin on the face of the man with silver and white hair was normal, otherwise he would definitely be considered an albinist. Although blonde hair is common, it is rare to have gray hair at such a young age.
Chen Bo frowned slightly, retreated the black-clothed man standing around, and then said, "It's been hidden for so long, why do you want to show your true face?" In this case, it will be difficult for you to breathe free air and enjoy the wonderful sunshine, and you will have to hide like a rat and become a thorn in the side of governments and large corporations. ”
"Hell knows what I've been through for the last thirty years or so." Assange sat down in the chair next to him and confronted his friend, who often interacted with him in the online world, "I lived a life of wandering like a gypsy when I was a child, and I was always wandering around with my mother, elementary and middle school, do you know how many schools I went to? It's 37! I went to 6 universities, but I didn't have any diplomas. ”
"In this way, Australia is a lot bigger than I thought." Chen Bo smiled, "I thought that only the southeast and southwest had cities, and the others were deserts. ”
"You are very humorous, this is completely different from the sharp-tongued image in the media reports, I didn't expect that the person on the other side of the Internet was actually you." With a slight wry smile, Assange continued, "Do you know what color my hair was before? It is dark brown. I hacked into the Canadian Telecommunications system and was like a god in it, and then the federal police knocked on my door, which I had expected. My wife then ran away with the children, and I had to fight for custody, and after three long years of legal action, my hair was completely out of color. ”
"I also have a daughter, and I can completely understand your feelings. Even if you think about your children, you shouldn't take the initiative to expose yourself! Chen Bo continued to persuade him.
Assange is his partner in the dark web intelligence system, and he communicates more closely and frequently. But he recently published a manifesto-like article in hacker circles titled "Rights and Conspiracy." He argues that when the lines of communication within a regime are broken, the exchange of information among those conspirators is doomed to shrink, and when this communication approaches zero, the conspiracy will be dismantled. On top of that, there are quite a few responders.
In Chen Bo's view, this is an extremely terrible behavior.
A technical hacker who suddenly evolves into a thinker with political demands is no longer a mere hacker.
In modern times, there is Hitler, just look at his experience, he was depressed and wanted to be a painter but did not succeed, and finally became a notorious anti-. Human heads.
Of course, it is difficult for such a centralized dictator to appear in this society now, but there are many anarchists in the shadows of the Internet, who are full of dissatisfaction with the real society, and they can be said to be the V-word vendetta team in the virtual world.
If the hackers on the dark side of the Internet are compared to artificial intelligence snooping on humans, then Assange is clearly on the verge of transforming into Skynet, and further down the road is very likely to be the Terminator.
"The most critical struggle of humanity is not the struggle between the left and the right or between faith and reason, but between the individual and the institution. Every citizen should be an independent individual, with the right to freedom, and need to know the truth of the matter! Assange said firmly.
"No, I happen to be opposed." Chen Bo replied, "Not everyone has the ability to make independent judgments, and the management body will indeed be blinded, but there are some things that the public knows about will cause unnecessary panic." I am against overly strict management methods, but that doesn't mean cutting them off completely. Society needs a stable order, and if everything becomes disorderly, then the world will become extremely chaotic. ”
"That's because you grew up in Huaxia." Assange said angrily.
"That's right, because I grew up there, I have a better understanding of what kind of order society ordinary people need. People need to be managed, otherwise the dark side of psychology will be exposed, do you want to leave the whole society to ethics and morality to arbitrate? Different people have different experiences and have different values, how much meaning do those morals have? Anarchism is never desirable! How can the word "interests" make sense for the struggle between countries? ”
"You don't need to persuade me, I've made up my mind!" Assange shook his head, unmoved: "I have planned to set up an organization to fight against these evil organizations, called 'WikiLeaks'!" Thank you very much for supporting me in the past two years, so that I will not be so depressed. If you do anything bad in the future, I will consider letting you go. ”
"Julian!" Chen Bo hurriedly said, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?" I just don't want to reveal your identity. And I've been targeted by governments, so I can't convince you. But you and I are still friends after all, even if you want to set up an organization to fight against the world, remember to use a pseudonym, I can help you make a separate identity. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your son. ”
"Thank you for your sincerity, but I decided to get out of the dark corners and have no intention of going back." Assange stood up and threw his gray cap into the sea with all his might, saying goodbye to the "Robin Hood hacker" past. "If something happens to me in bad faith, please help me take care of my son, whose name is Daniel. I know you have the ability. ”
"Well, I will." Chen Bo nodded heavily, making a promise to him, but he didn't give up his last effort, "Julian, if you stay, you may be able to become the undisputed king of the Internet, using the information you control to maintain the order of the physical world, and you may never be able to turn back if you do this now." ”
"You can't go back for a long time, can you?" A very relaxed smile appeared on Assange's face.
"This is the locker code of a private bank in the Cayman Islands, UBS is no longer safe, and the United States is watching it very closely, which is a little bit of caution on my part." Chen Bo handed over a small note and said, "I will let the plane send you over, and if you have any difficulties in the future, you can use code words to find me." ”
"Thank you for your kindness." Assange tapped him on the shoulder and resolutely turned away.
"By the way, never trust the media, any media!" Chen Bo shouted at his back, only to see Assange make an OK gesture without looking back with silver hair, and strode away.
Chen Bo was the only lonely figure on the beach, silently sighing at the sea, and then preparing to leave this private island belonging to Abu.
