Question about History of "SWIM"
#23606122 - 09/02/16 08:55 PM (7 years, 4 months ago) |

This term was used extensively in old posts in the forum. I am new, so why was this practice ever used? Was it just pure paranoia? Why would someone ever think this would protect them in anyway (VPN or TOR network and common sense would be more effective)? Also, why would someone (the average member) be so conceited to think anyone would even care that much about their little hobby?

Ah ok, I am definitely not an expert on the law, so maybe it would help to an extent. I just didn't think it would matter if someone already had a warrant to access your internet activity, hard drives, etc.

It was very prevalent in drug related forums in the late 90s and early 2000s (e.g. The Hive drug chemistry forum). Apparently there are some forums that exist now where it's required. Really awkward and I doubt it makes much difference to legal risks. Another variant is someone saying that their dog or something is the one doing the illegal activity.

the funny thing about "SWIM" is only people on the forums know what it stands for

Man, i just thought, before long people will be old school if they were around way way back when kratom was legal. Hell my grandpa told me he could buy it in these little shots at the gas station while he was working.

In practice though a more accurate interpretation would be "someone who is me".
