Yeah, but official public records are important too, they shouldn’t be littered with vandalism, just because these guys have no notion of permanent reality.
Your comment made me actually read the story instead of just the headline.
If it was just a thermometer in someone’s back yard, then I’d agree with @dogslayeggs. You’re right, though: it’s not okay to mess with official public records. It may be funny, and a good way to make a few bucks (or euros, or francs, or whatever), but it’s not okay.
I say that gaming this system justifies inconsequential alternation of public records. Being prudish about doing anything slightly controversial while the other side blatantly ignores all laws and laughs in our faces is why they are winning.
I think people that did this are not millionaires and are not in power. Probably just some clever airport workers. IMHO, gaming exploitative system to make a living is justified. It someone abused their power to get even richer than it’s not justified.

I would agree with you except the people who did this aren’t on any side. They are just fucking up temp data to make money. Why is that justified?
