Kim Dotcom is recovering in hospital after reportedly suffering a stroke earlier this month. Dotcom was taken to a local hospital on November 7 and then rushed to a regional hospital for treatment. A post to X in Dotcom's name on Monday informed followers that after suffering "a serious stroke" his recovery is now in the hands of "the best health professionals."

Regardless of what you think of him or his actions, it's pretty horrible that Hollywood can induce so much prolonged stress on the accused before charges are even faced in court that it results in this.
- Wait, the guy is heavy! Pretty sure it's saturated fatty acid and cholesterol clocking his arteries, not Hollywood.
  
  Yeah that absolutely would have played a big factor, but stress increases stroke risk as well, so it's likely a combination of issues. I don't think it should come as a surprise that this happened to him right after he lost his decade-long battle to avoid extradition to the US.
  
  Hahahaa

Let's wish him a good recovery
- Amen
- Why
  
  Why not?
  
  Pirate code

Interesting that Kim Dotcom blames the MAGA boogeyman "deep state communists" for his persecution and celebrated Trump's win, while Trump's supreme court is currently poised to force ISPs to crack down on bittorrent traffic. I don't expect intelligence form Dotcom, but does he really think a conservative oligarchy is going to be friendlier to the users of decentralized anti-corporate protocols?
The only reasons countries like Russia and china don't police piracy is because not doing so hurts US corporate interests, not because they love free speech and want to enable circumvention of government-enforced censorship.

Man that's fucked up. I hope he makes a full recovery. Sadly, he's very over weight and I'm sure that contributed to it. Uncontrolled blood pressure probably

I know this is serious. But I can't stop thinking how cringe is the fact he changed his lastname to Dotcom.
- I guess it sounded pretty 1337 at the time.
- Pretty late cringe, considering he changed his name in 2005.

Never heard of him, and it looks like that’s a good thing.
- Why?
  "Dotcom founded the Internet Party in New Zealand in 2014, promoting digital rights, privacy, and government transparency."
  If someone is working these values in with them.
  
  If you believe Kim Dotcom is promoting those values you are a complete sucker. He consistently advocates for more authoritarian control over the Internet, not less. Plus:
  Dotcom has repeatedly spread anti-Ukrainian falsehoods, and Russian government propaganda.
  And
  In an August 2024 Twitter post, Dotcom quoted passages from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a discredited antisemitic text purporting to prove the existence of a Jewish conspiracy for world domination. That October, he promoted the neo-Nazi propaganda film Europa: The Last Battle.

  From the article, quoting him on Twitter just before the stroke:
  @KimDotcom How did the deep state communists think that they could get away with their bullshit? When the economy is flopping nobody cares about media lies and celebrity endorsements. Americans pay much more for the basics and they want to stop the bleeding from their wallets. It's over!
  @KimDotcom Europe will be liberated next. This is your end @vonderleyen This is your end @Bundeskanzler This is your end@EmmanuelMacron This is your end @KeirStarmer This is your end @ZelenskyyUa You are terrible. Get lost.
  So conspiracy theorist and hate monger at the very least. That didn’t inspire me to get to know him further.
