Honestly I don't know why this should even be on HN. Disclaimer: I don't live in Prague.

He's a member of the Pirate Party, the (unofficial?) party of HN. I can't see why this wouldn't be on here.

OK, I was not aware of this political aspect of HN.

Pirate Party was founded to bring attention to copyright law (and the effect the internet was having) to government: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2009/02/rick-falkvinge-i... , which is probably an issue any computer hacker has an opinion on.

On a slightly off-topic note, I've been playing Deus Ex: Mankind Divided the last few weeks, which takes place in Prague, so this headline made me wonder for a moment if I was in-game...
