Right now, on Stack Overflow, Luigi Magione’s account has been renamed. Despite having fruitfully contributed to the network he is stripped of his name and his account is now known as “user4616250”.

This appears to violate the creative commons license under which Stack Overflow content is posted.

When the author asked about this:

As of yet, Stack Exchange has not replied to the above post, but they did promptly and within hours gave me a year-long ban for merely raising the question. Of course, they did draft a letter which credited the action to other events that occurred weeks before where I merely upvoted contributions from Luigi and bountied a few of his questions.

People do - through tax but the rich divert the funds through policy using laws that they've shaped to benefit themselves rather than the nation.

Honestly, if anyone has a chance of murdering the rich and setting a precedent of self defence over social murder, it's another rich who can afford an excellent lawyer to see out the lengthy court case.
