Agreed. A bit embarrassing she doesn't even mention that Sunny Balwani is charged with the exact same crime as Elizabeth Holmes. I feel like it would be legitimate to ask why the media covers them differently. However, very silly that her best arguments of sexism is to assert in throwaway lines that we could charge Zuck criminally for anti-vax statements on Facebook.

Care to elaborate? I'm out of the loop on this one.

I can't get into the article now because I've reached my limit but there was a line that said "Why do we only charge Elizabeth Holmes? When will we find those CEOs who let blatant vaccine misinformation guilty of causing harm?"

If your view is that a CEO of a social media company should be held liable that really need its own op-ed, not a single sentence. I find it impossible to believe that one could think the reason the CEO of a social media site is not being charged is due to their gender. No one has been held liable (no publisher, writer, etc.) for vaccine misinfo. Its a complete garbage argument that undermines other legitimate claims of sexism in SV
