Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

It would be really really awful if we started flooding the tip hotlines with false/conflicting information

[–] rooster_butt@lemm.ee 39 points 2 weeks ago

You can flood it with names of people whose coverage was denied and call it motive. No false information needed.

Just go to any health forum, find random usernames complaining about the company and call it as a tip. Not wrong, just dumb

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, but I’m in another country. If I called in tips from Canada that are false is that still illegal?

[–] moody@lemmings.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, the FBI would likely know that it's coming from Canada and could get the RCMP involved.

This is only discussing the legality and not the ethics of it though.

Man why do Americas problems always have to be Canada’s problems too? Like why does the FBI have to be MY problem, that’s your guys mess. :(

[–] moody@lemmings.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

You say that while suggesting you would interfere in an investigation in the US.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Cause the rich in every country want the gestapo to keep everyone in line everywhere, so they make sure the fascist enforcement arms can work together easily.

In this case you should be blaming your politicians and the RCMP, not the FBI. The FBI can't come to your country and do shit to you without your country's permission.

Remember that the rich do not have patriotism, or a sense of responsibility to society or their community. They are above all that. Until we bring them back down to earth. Or under it.

“Bring them down to earth. Or under it.” That’s a fantastic quote. Did you think of that yourself or is that from something?

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

From the mind of yours truly. Sounded good while I was writing the post.

TYL: the US has always been everyone else's problem — and our own.

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Not passing moral judgment, but if you commit a crime in a country other than yours, that country's authorities will be after you. For a change, this isn't the US being the US

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not discussing anything else, but you're talking about inserting yourself into the FBI's business, so of course they're going to insert themselves into yours too.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, really. Don't encourage people to commit stupid crimes that could send them to prison.

I don't know the legality of feeding them useless, but true tips. This is your own risk.

I absolutely do know the legality of lying to the FBI. Don't do this. Don't encourage people to do this.
