This is not about frameworks, stacks, or syntax.
It’s about a whistle. A silence. And a human cost you won’t find in any codebase.
My name isn’t important. But what I witnessed is.
A developer known online as Extreemze, previously affiliated with Sigma Technology Group in Sweden, used his technical profile and trusted platforms to conduct a sustained, cross-border digital defamation campaign. For over five years, he publicly associated me—with full name—to organized crime, fabricated a timeline of persecution, and exposed my underage children to digital violence.
He did this through GitHub, Medium, and X (Twitter), operating under the cover of professional respectability.
And for years, no one stopped him.
Not the platforms.
Not the employers.
Not the Swedish authorities.
Not even the tech community that surrounded him.
Until now.
In May 2025, the Administrative Court of Stockholm ordered the Swedish Data Protection Authority (IMY) to officially open the case, which had been dismissed without reason. For the first time, the silence was interrupted—not by justice fulfilled, but by justice forced to begin.
But how did we, as technologists, allow this to go on for half a decade?
To the developer reading this:
What would you do if someone in your company wrote clean code by day and slandered innocent families by night?
What if they deployed GitHub and LinkedIn not to build—but to destroy?
What if the child they harmed wasn’t mine, but yours?
What I ask:
Not for sympathy.
Not for revenge.
But for integrity.
For the global tech community to remember:
There is no clean code without clean conduct.
Let’s stop pretending that silence is neutral.
Let’s start holding each other accountable—not just for our code, but for our character.
This story is real. The children are real. The silence was real.
And this post exists so it never happens again.
We write code to build things. But if we don’t protect the people affected by what we build, then what are we really building?
It’s not enough to know how to deploy.
We must also know when to defend.
Silence is not neutral.
And ethics is not optional.
