Much like Aaron Swartz did, Andrew "weev" Auernheimer fought against the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, a law both men belived to be dangerous and unjust. But unlike Swartz, the internet's own boy, weev is an unapologetic troll who spread bile and chaos wherever he goes, a man who seemed to take pleasure in making others miserable. His fight raises a thorny question: when a bad person fights for a good cause, how should we feel about it?
