Dear Flight Sim Labs,
The internet is a wonderful tool which has enabled communication on a worldwide scale and it’s use has accelerated our learning and advancement as a species.
Internet users share knowledge and opinions and where these differ, debates take place. People can choose to take the opinion of others, question them or give alternative opinions. The internet allows freedom of speech and expression and through that we can get to know what others feel or think about any subject rather than the echo of our own little bubble and world.
Flight Sim Labs recently tried to gag free speech on Reddit with passive-agressive threats of legal action simply because you did not like what was being said.
Many smaller platforms do not have the money, legal team or will to fight such threats and give in without a fight. Speech and publishing on the internet being dictated by those with more money to spend on lawyers and a legal team bothers me tremendously. This spreads outside of the internet and makes a joke of the laws and justice system of many countries and is a rot that needs resolving.
FSL has intentionally distributed malware with it’s product – Fact
FSL recently used malware tactics again, not learning from previous mistakes – Fact
FSL tried to cover this up and gag Reddit with legal threats and claims of libel – Fact
FSL customer user information is compromised – FactNow your customer and company data is compromised as a result of the way you treat your customers and the internet. Making a public apology for your wrongdoings, with no blame apportioned elsewhere or PR spin, would go a long way in to making sure the copy of product serial numbers along with associated customer data gets destroyed.
DRM and censorship are a scourge which hinders the development of mankind by limiting sharing of information. The people of the internet will always find a way to bypass both as they know freedom is more important than the profits of a business.
Love and hope for the future.

Multiple server pwnage. It is unforunate that one has to publish even this to pre-empt more hole digging denials and threats of lawyers from FSL. Published root mysql user password to show hashed passwords are not secure and easily reversible.
上一周Flightsimlabs再次发现，此前引起模拟飞行圈轩然大波的可疑文件事件又一次被放在Reddit上热炒……FSL为了阻止态势蔓延，通过私信方式向相关帖子发起人发送了法律形式的“口头”威胁，超出FSL想象的是，这些人可不是吃素的，事态不仅没有收敛，反而继续扩大，以至于有人以RandomRedditor的名义把FSL的官网给黑了（不过截至目前FSL官网已经修复），并留下了一封长信，指责FSL在产品中再次植入并使用恶意软件，威胁发帖人等不良行为。抗击盗版可以理解，但为了生存可不能不择手段，尤其是欧盟GDPR上月底刚刚强制生效，小心被罚哟（不要以为欧盟罚不到美国，此前的欧盟增值税征收事件已经有不少公司中招）~以下是信件全部内容：
