    Read this story and it made me feel sad (And impressed again by @xychelsea). People's loneliness is a real problem today, one that the Internet has both helped alleviate as well as advance. https://www.npr.org/...

    Suspicion has continued to persist around the death of Adrian Lamo, the man who made headlines in 2010 when he turned in Chelsea Manning into FBI, before dying suddenly under mysterious circumstances aged 37 in March last year. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/ ...

    He did become an outcast, whether he was ever a hero is quite questionable. Sure he has a following. Sure he had some fame. But a hero? https://twitter.com/...

    Adrian Lamo was a hero-turned-outcast hacker who turned in Chelsea Manning for passing secret military documents to WikiLeaks in 2010. Last year, Lamo was mysteriously found dead. This is his story. https://www.npr.org/...

    That was a dark morning, hearing the word that a friend of yours is dead on the news. https://www.npr.org/...

    Chelsea Manning has broken her silence on Adrian Lamo, the famous hacker who turned her in for passing secret military documents to WikiLeaks. In a handwritten jailhouse note, Manning told NPR she's never had an ill will toward Lamo. https://n.pr/30zp04x pic.twitter.com/n7Fp48ASh…

    This is a very hard story to do and I'm glad @NPRDina wrote it. https://www.npr.org/...
  • @mollymckew Molly McKew on x
    This message from Manning to a famous hacker does an awful lot to undermine all the nice stories about the intention of the hack. https://www.npr.org/... https://twitter.com/...

    Adrian Lamo thought of himself as an ethical vigilante hacker — a self-styled Robin Hood of the early internet. When he died mysteriously last year, conspiracy theorists went wild. An NPR investigation sets the record straight. https://www.npr.org/...
