标题: ABC的道歉信全文，以及下一步的行动

有很多人可能并没有真正看到这个道歉信，所以我在下面转贴了一下。
首先上一个帖子的标题我觉得不是特别准确: “ABC 通过80-20促进会向全体华裔致歉
”。我的第一反应就是，道歉就是道歉为什么要通过80-20？？难道这里面又有一些乌
龙？看了后我才明白，其实这就是一封道歉信。ABC可能以为80-20能够代表整体华人
，所以他们给80-20的president写的信也代表了对整体华人的道歉。我知道我们会觉得
80-20不能代表我们整体华人，但是不管怎么样这绝对是一个阶段性的胜利。大家只要
看一眼这个道歉信，就应该明白这确实是一封道歉信。
我认为这是非常好的第一步。他们的高管都已经正式道歉了，白纸黑字以后是不能不认
账的。下一步的目标当然是怎么把这个家伙fire掉，并让别的媒体知道不要随便拿中国
人在开玩笑。在现阶段没有别的任何一个组织让ABC的高管出面道歉，所以我觉得80-20
还是相当不错的。我决定以后给捐款给他们。
我也觉得这个道歉信是远远不够的，这只是一个好的开头而已。但是大家也不能因此而
忽视80 20的成绩，甚至讽刺WOO的工作啊！前几天不少帖子呼吁华人要有一个自己的政
治团体，80 20好歹也是第一个站出来接触ABC的团体吧。
没有人说这封给80-20的道歉信是我们这次活动的目的。
这只是一个好的开头而已。
下一步该怎么做就怎么做，游行抗议打官司，这些都是要做的。但是这封信是朝积极的
方向迈进了一步。
同志们，平心而论，你们觉得abc会在签名达到十万之前，在我们真正上街游行之前,
在向 FCC 的complaint达到一定数目之前，会在他们的网站上公开正式道歉并fire
Kimmle吗? 我们大家都知道那是不可能的. 这封给80-20的道歉信是一个阶段性的胜利
而已。要成就大事都需要有人扮演红脸跟黑脸。难道8-20扮演了一个阶段性的红脸不是
一件好事吗？我们扮演的黑脸（游行抗议打官司）丝毫不用受到影响啊。
大家继续加油！

Today, ladies, the Federal Trade Commission is on your side.
The FTC is shutting down revenge porn site “IsAnybodyDown.”
Operated by Craig Brittain, IsAnybodyDown was a receptacle for nude photos
of women obtained through deceptive means. According to the FTC, Brittain
would go on Craigslist posing as a woman and ask other women to exchange
nude photos. He then would take those photos and post them on his site
without their knowledge.
Brittain also set up a bounty program. Users could earn a minimum of $100
for turning in information about a specific person. Within the site’s
lifetime, Brittain amassed information and photos of 1,000 people.
What’s worse, Brittain would post full names, addresses, phone numbers, and
Facebook screenshots alongside the photos. Women who ended up on the site
received harassing phone calls and other unwanted contact from strangers.
When these women found out about the site and asked for their photos to be
removed, Brittain redirected them to a “removal service” where they had to
pay anywhere from $200 to $500 to have images taken off the site.
The FTC is not only having the site taken down, it’s also forcing Brittain
to delete “all of the images and other personal information he received
during the time he operated the site.” He’s also prohibited from sharing
intimate videos and photographs of people without their consent.
Shockingly, it doesn’t seem like the FTC is issuing any kind financial
penalty. Hopefully, these women will sue Brittain for all he’s worth in
civil court — I know I would.
