Context: A hacker wearing a pink power ranger costume deleted a racist dating website live at the end of their 39c3 talk this year.
Video of the talk (together with two journalists) here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-the-echo-chamber#l=eng
(The link is set to English translation, original talk is in German. Deletion happens here: https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-the-heartbreak-machine-nazis-in-the-echo-chamber#l=eng&t=2577)


Well that’s probably true. I mean lots of stuff was obviously hacked and deleted, and if you trust the script output in the stream mostly from whitedate. child and deal are later off-shoots it seems, but date had like 6k users, some paying, the main project basically. And it’s still offline. And whitedeal shows a 2019 copyright notice. :D
There was an interactive map of the user profiles hosted by the hacker at https://okstupid.lol/ but it seems to be down right now. And the journalists who participated in the talk (and pointedly left before the script was run) announced there will be more articles released soon.
