Bump... why are you playing the double agent, /pol/???
It wasn't just a prank. We have undeniable proof that the people running the petition knew they had thousands of fake signatures before /pol got involved and were happy to let the media report false statistics. Without the North Korea / Vatican City votes they would have ignored the whole thing.
>we're well aware that people have signed https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 … who technically don't have the right
>it's not a voting app where the absolute number is important
>whether it's 2.5 or 2.8 million is irrelevant
>spending your saturday nights inspecting JSON data looking for "fraud" is really a waste of your time

He sounds like another butthurt remain cuck and has some very strange ideas about what that website is for. Basically he seems to be condoning wasting parliament's time even if people including foreign nationals decide to troll petitions. Either that or he doesn't understand what's going on.
>>79031995
He's also the Chief Technical Officer of Unboxed who manage the petition site for Parliament.
Looking for fraud isn't a "waste of time", it's his job.

Hacker known as 4chan

What was the point? You already knew the media lies about virtually everything.
>>79031060
Who are these hackers "4-chan" and "Anonymous"?
Is it THE Anonymous from the famous and popular THUMP party running for political office in 2016? I heard they're gaining traction through their hacking exploits, truly a legion, truly epic!
It's time for the van, call the hacker named 4chan.

Says every Remainer right now.

That, for once, they had to admit it. They had to explain to their own readers how what they'd hyped so much the day before was garbage. We already know it's lies, but does your average Daily Mail reader?
Another aspect is that from time to time they seriously float the idea of online voting to engage more Millenials with politics, so it's worth examining the kind of people chosen to set these things up. Rails developers who don't care about fraud if it suits their own politics and who can't secure a simple petition.
>>79034641
Anyone who uses SLOW AS FUCK for anything is already a fraud regardless, and with no exception.
