Paul Sztorc circulating Peter Todd's screenshot, recovered from a phone cache, of an nvk post dated 15 November 2024 that had since been deleted: "Now imagine if this knockoff was a back door into peoples home network...". Registered for the deleted material it carries rather than for Sztorc's one-line reaction, and kept alongside stackernews-nvk-deleted-posts. What the archive holds is a third party's picture of the post, not the post; nothing here establishes when or why it was deleted, and the post it originally quoted is already unavailable in the screenshot.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.

How to check this yourself

Compare the screenshot or a quotation against the original while it is available.
