My theory is when Aaron Swartz hacked the MIT servers and downloaded the entire JSTOR directory, he also downloaded evidence on Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, along with a motherlode of child porn.
There's some creepy dude Richard Stallman, an MIT visiting scientist, who's a privacy and free software advocate and this copypasta attributed to him always popped up on the Linux subreddits-
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

The UK is planning a censorship law that would prohibit "giving a (so-called) child anything that relates to sexual activity or contains a reference to such activity". This clearly includes most novels that you can buy in an ordinary book store.
As usual, the term "child" is used as a form of deception, since it includes teenagers of an age at which a large fraction of people are sexually active nowadays. People we would not normally call children.
The law would also prohibit "encouraging a (so-called) child to take part in sexual activity." I think that everyone age 14 or above ought to take part in sex, though not indiscriminately. (Some people are ready earlier.) It is unnatural for humans to abstain from sex past puberty, and while I wouldn't try to pressure anyone to participate, I certainly encourage everyone to do so.
This web site is currently hosted in the UK. If the law is adopted, will my web site be a crime? I will have to talk with the people who host the site about whether I should move it to another country.
(The hosting company responded that I don't need to move.)
Not surprisingly, this pedophile defended Epstein.
MIT visiting scientist sends department-wide email defending Jeffrey Epstein (updated)
An MIT visiting scientist known to defend child pornography is facing backlash for trying to correct students who said Jeffrey Epstein “sexually assaulted” underage girls.
According to an email thread circulated among an MIT cohort and shared with the Daily Dot by a former MIT student, programmer, and free software advocate Richard Stallman sent an email on Wednesday referring to Epstein’s victims as “one of Epstein’s harem” and likely “entirely willing.” Stallman also wrote that the phrase “sexual assault” carries too much weight for Marvin Minsky’s actions, referring to the former MIT professor who faced sexual assault accusations and died in 2016.
So with folks like that wandering the halls at MIT, and Gates secretly donating money to the place through Epstein, who really has any clue on why Swartz "committed suicide?" But that's my theory and sticking to it for now.
Prayer Power, I'd love to read your comment bc it looks like you took the time to put some thought into it; I cannot due to the formatting. Any chance you can fix that?
Here's the post without the formatting but that's just a bandaid. You may want to try a different web browser, clearing your cache/cookies, or turning off community styling and see if that fixes the issue.

So with folks like that wandering the halls at MIT, and Gates secretly donating money to the place through Epstein, who really has any clue on why Swartz "committed suicide?" But that's my theory and sticking to it for now.
My recollection of the event at the time was that nothing was 'hacked', not even by the most falsely misconstrued interpretation of the term. It was material made available freely for anyone to download.
And Swartz did. But he downloaded not just an article, but used a little script to pull the entire site contents down. Which might have been unanticipated by MIT, but thats how 'the commons' goes sometimes.
And for this he was arrested and charged under this notion that him doing what he was invited to do somehow detracted from the experience of others who were also downloading the articles. And for this, he was tormented and threatened until he killed himself.
Which is even more damning than the response to any 'hacking'. Who attacks perfectly lawful people for doing exactly what the site & site owner encouraged them to do?
Hitting on a trove of contraband certainly might have been the motivation for the insane response.
In desperation, Jstor eventually blocked the entire MIT network from access to its vast database for several days in October 2010 – cutting off one of the world's premier research universities from the millions of scientific journals and academic articles Jstor holds.
But even then, the talented coder is alleged to have bypassed them completely by entering a restricted network interface room on MIT's campus and wiring his equipment directly to its network.
AND
According to Demand Progress, MIT has already reached a settlement with Swartz, while Jstor said: "We secured from Mr Swartz the content that was taken, and received confirmation that the content was not and would not be used, copied, transferred, or distributed."
That has left some observers puzzled as to why the federal prosecutors have gone ahead with the case, especially as Jstor – the most obvious victim in the affair – publicly announced: "Our interest was in securing the content. Once this was achieved, we had no interest in this becoming an ongoing legal matter."
So the hacking was more direct physical access to the MIT network than anything else.
With that being said, it appears Swartz submitted some interesting FOIA requests shortly before his death, including this one-
Also on December 10, Swartz filed a FOIA request with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) seeking “All clinical trial information, including the medical and statistical reviews of New Drug Applications.” The FDA said his request was too broad. Swartz narrowed it and asked for “the list or log that includes all names of drugs which the FDA has already processed and prepared for public release all the submitted medical and statistical new drug reviews. [sic]” The FDA told Swartz he could find that information on the agency’s website. It’s unknown why Swartz was so interested in the data.
As you say, they would have him with breaking and entering, trespass and unauthorised network access with the entering restricted areas to continue doing what he had already been admonished and cautioned for. Minor to be sure in terms of charges, and probably more detrimental to whatever academic line he was involved with.. because he probably would have been expelled.
Very strong parallels with the blocking of medical researchers in the current day from medical journals, wouldnt you say?
Case in point, Dr Robert Malone was first blocked (by IP no less) from the New England Journal of Medicine, and then also subsequently blocked from Journal of the American Medical Association.
My theory is when Aaron Swartz hacked the MIT servers and downloaded the entire JSTOR directory, he also downloaded evidence on Bill Gates, Jeffrey Epstein, along with a motherlode of child porn.
