Yes, its pretty much sticking a finger in LE eyes.

Im staying away from this one for a LONG time before i will even consider trying it.

I think the general public likes that it exists, and they like that the government can't do anything about it. Even for those who don't use drugs or are opposed to their use, they know the war on drugs is stupid.

And the fact that you don't really HAVE to do what your government dictates is refreshing.

All these news sites and stations of course need to mention that it's a wretched hive of and scum and villainy, because you can't publicly endorse it. But they know who their readers are really rooting for.

Its stupid and its a publicity stunt. Its just inviting an early takedown.

Oh and "HEY GUISE AMI ANON YET LOLzcat REMEMBER NOVEMBER LOL TROLLFACE"


[2 Points] TOKEONN:

Not sure about the attention. Not the same owner, website, database...

And there's been better alternatives for months now.

All the media attention makes me wonder about who is really in control of SR2. Why no mention of the other markets? Seems like a trap to me. I guess only time will tell.
