Since this billionaire doesn’t want us to learn about what bad things he did, I figured we should let as many people know as possible:
In a move that has press freedom campaigners troubled, Rajat Khare, co-founder of Appin, an India-based tech company, has used a variety of law firms in a number of different jurisdictions to threaten these U.S., British, Swiss, Indian, and French-language media organizations.
On Nov. 16, Reuters published a special investigation under the headline “How an Indian startup hacked the world,” detailing how Appin allegedly became a “hack for hire powerhouse that stole secrets from executives, politicians, military officials and wealthy elites around the globe”
Khare retained the powerhouse “media assassin” firm Clare Locke LLP, which boasts on its website about “killing stories,” to send Reuters several legal threats over the past year about the story
Across the pond, Khare had his name removed from a joint investigation between The Sunday Times and the nonprofit Bureau of Investigative Journalism, titled, “Caught on camera: confessions of the hackers for hire.” Three paragraphs that reported on Khare were removed from both publications following legal threats on his behalf
Lets spread the word!!!
Someone’s about to discover the Streisand Effect
Here’s another website referencing that article for visibility: https://metacurity.substack.com/p/best-infosec-related-long-reads-for-d92
I refuse to click on any SubStack stories. That web site profiteers from Nazi content.
Never heard of them. We sure they’re not leaking this to build their reputation as top hackers? Surely this leak is an advertising gift to them?
I’ve been trying to bury stories that are going around that I have the biggest dick in Britain. It’s hard work.

I won’t let you do this, the people deserve to know!
Damn you, internet! I wish you was never born!
Not a lawyer but it’s amazing that what looks to be an attorney for Virginia is working so hard to dismantle freedom of the press, a foundation of US law (yes I know it’s not part of international laws in other countries but it’s still incredibly ironic)
Attorneys they place money over integrity so it’s not surprising at all
Sometimes I turn to religion, especially with the promise that these bastards will end up in hell.

Rajat Khare? The rapist Rajat Khare?!?
The very same
Is there an archived version of the reuters article?
I don’t know if it was all the annoying animation effects, or the fact they were also in an archive.org frame, but it took 20% battery and thermal throttled my iPhone 13 Pro to read this.
I kinda feel like Elon already proved you couldn’t do this, even if you bought Twitter!
Thats the thing. They think they work on a different set of rules.
