So... there's a rich element of hypocrisy to this episode.
Was the employee current at the time of info sharing, and is now “former”? Or did they retain access to systems after leaving the company? Or did they pass info from a friend still working at twitter? In any of these cases it’s still troubling.
You can't erase confidential information from people's memory during "offboarding". That's where the NDA comes in.
Reply guys harassing women and reporters on twitter are not journalists.
Where is the hypocrisy?
Taylor perhaps could have even doxxed the account if the writer was in fact a public figure: that would be newsworthy.
Taylor doxxing the identity of what turns out to be a completely unknown private citizen is not newsworthy; it adds nothing of value to the story, other than allowing this person to be harassed and intimidated for her views and actions.
Her decrying her own harassment, while enabling the harassment of others, is pure hypocrisy.
Um, what the fuck? It’s the job of “journalists” to find and dox pseudonymous social media accounts and link their professional info?
Please tell me this is sarcasm/satire I missed
Yeah.
> Libs of TikTok has become a powerful force online, shaping right-wing media, impacting anti-LGBTQ+ legislation & influencing millions by posting viral videos aimed at inciting outrage.
> Every formalized ethical code for journalists asks reporters to weigh privacy/harm against the public interest. The public interest in attribution of this account - an influential activist operating at significant scale - is overwheliming
