It’s unclear why the posts were deleted after the CNN story published.

Ive got s sneaking suspicion why... but after cnn reports on it... why would you bother?
Im not saying that this move makes it more incriminating but... Wait. that does make it more incriminating. What was i thinking?
What a dumbass.
HE STILL HAS THE PASSWORD
Hard to forget "12345."
That's the same password I have on my luggage!
Yo luggage ain't got five clicks liar
Mine is 420. Curious how many others use this.
I mean, it's not like Forgot Password forms are a modern day thing
Unless you're just making a joke that I whooshed then you can just ignore me lmao
I think their point was just that he has control of the account. Whether that's because he knew the password, or used a forgot password link doesn't really matter, he would have to control the email for that account to reset the password.
Lmao he used his actual name?
How did they know his password was hunter2?
Why did you type *******?
Lmao. Nuked everything but kept the page with his name on it.
Nothing gets deleted from the internet.
He doesn't want to lose his favorites.
there was a time i would have said no one's dumb enough to make a porn account with their actual full name
those days are long gone
Those days were 2008-2011 I guess.
-24 (It was only today I lost faith in humanity one step further)
"It's not me, it was AI! Also, I deleted them all!"
The official name for that logical fallacy is "Kettle Logic".
Did an AI do that too? /s
Oh and you expected shit to just make sense when Skynet and John Conner are constantly rewriting our timeline?
This is low key terrifying
Makes sense. Just curious if it was robinson or Nude Africa who nuked the posts. Because I am sure plenty of users did not want to experience the scrutiny of people looking for more dookie chute posts by a politician.
when this story broke i had a look at "Nude Africa"
No one... No one has touched that site in a developement or administrator capacity since the early 2000s.
I half expected pictures to load in line by line while my modem sang to me
Damn, quickly logged back in and did some damage control, lol.
Does it matter now? They’re out in the wild.
It matters because he’s going to accuse CNN of making it all up.
How the fuck is he supposed to prove he didn't make those posts?
He isn't because he obviously did. If someone had maliciously created an account on a porn site registered to his full name and using a screenname he also used on other websites over ten years ago, then posted his own political views and declared his love of transgender porn, all in order to smear his name, I very much doubt that they'd sit on that for ten years.
Hehehehe
I'm not questioning his guilt, I'm questioning how someone possibly proves they didn't make a post.
After all this time, probably only of he can prove someone else did it. I doubt the site still has IP logs from back then and obviously there's no having an alibi in this case.
I think the easiest way to prove he didn't is to prove someone else did. I don't think he will be able to do that easily, particularly because I think he made those posts.
Nah he just needs the right patsy. Patsy with a dick.
