Publicly posting the names and identities of front-line employees involved in content moderation puts them in harm’s way and is a fundamentally unacceptable thing to do.
@yoyoel Almost standard practice of those idiots to dox anyone they don't like

@yoyoel

Is he really doing that, Yoel?
I can't bear to go look for myself.

@wren @yoyoel Matt Taibbi is spilling a lot of stuff in a loooong thread. Should have removed the names. He didn’t.
@AgnesoftheDogs Hell, even Snowden and Assange redacted stuff.
@brianstorms There’s a low bar.
@AgnesoftheDogs @brianstorms seems the low bar has a basement.
@vmatinnia @brianstorms It’s so depressing.
@AgnesoftheDogs @brianstorms we found Mastadon. It’s better. And we’ll find more of our friends and family, just invite them and leave Elon talking to himself. It’s going to get better 🥰

@brianstorms @AgnesoftheDogs it's not lost on me that glenn greenwald is right there boosting both of these acts

what a joke.

@AgnesoftheDogs @wren @yoyoel He also leaked Jack Dorsey's personal email address in this thread.
@evandornbusch @AgnesoftheDogs @wren @yoyoel
I’m just here to second the fact that the dipshit DOXXED jack dorseys personal e-mail address as well. And then deleted the actual post which made everyone ask why a post was missing, which made it an even more obvious gaffe
@geoffrothman @evandornbusch @AgnesoftheDogs @wren @yoyoel They really are making a parody on this "free speech exercise" they are pursuing... "Free Speech! All must be laid bare!... Ooops! Not HIS email!" <Delete> 😏
@Anders @evandornbusch @AgnesoftheDogs @wren @yoyoel
Yes!! My other favorite was “ACTOR JAMES WOOD WAS CENSORED BY TWITTER AND LOST ACTING JOBS!!” [reads the thread. User finds an old screenshot and posts it]
Turns out Woods posted a hunter biden dick pic and that’s the post that for censored!! Now hundreds of thousands of “these people” are going to have this pic posted in their replies…they have NO idea what’s coming 🤭🫢🫢😂😂
@yoyoel I hope there is some legal recourse to prevent this ., it will be a huge concern for those employees who r just doing their job
@yoyoel I remember Matt Taibbi as a journalist you could respect. I can't believe he's engaging in this.
The two expat bros who terrorized women correspondents in Moscow

Matt Taibbi and Mark Ames trafficked in hideous stereotypes and body-shaming.

The Washington Post
@yoyoel That’s the goal. Harm. “The cruelty is the point,” etc.
@brianstorms that's the part that is so unreal .. smh it's all about how to bring hate to innocents ..
@yoyoel
Yet this is a thing that SOME people, who actually seem to have the favor of a lot of Mastodon, want to do. To make moderators paid positions, to make them boards of elected people. This is why the group of people I am referring to but won't name because I don't want to start shit, has obviously never moderated a god damn thing in their lives.
@yoyoel I don’t think they should be named, they didn’t sign up for that. Ultimately it was a problem that these decisions were made in secret and had an impact on our democracy. We should fix this going forward in mastodon before it becomes a problem.
@yoyoel I'm old enough to remember when Twitter had a policy against publishing people's personal emails without their consent.
@justinhendrix @yoyoel I mean, a lot of things were against policy just days ago.
@yoyoel And it's normalizing disturbing employer practices that even further deteriorate workplace norms, wrongly reinforcing that working people are property.

@yoyoel Absolutely. THAT is the big story tonight.

Elon Musk will gladly share private communications and personal details if it furthers his political goals.

@yoyoel you need to sue him and make him pay for this
@yoyoel can you guys start your own site and key Twitter burn
@yoyoel not to mention the juicy CPRA litigation that will happen on 1/3/23
@yoyoel duh. God Elon is the king. Hail to the king. He does what he pleases. Who are you to question that?
Chief content moderator? Hmm… yes I guess.
@yoyoel deleted Twitter, what did I miss?

@jfk @yoyoel

Elon is trying to boost activity on Twitter, as it's dropped quite a bit, by "RELEASING THE SECRETS OF HUNTER BIDEN'S LAPTOP!!!!!"... @ 5PM!!!!!! 🤦‍♂️

It turned out to be a case of revenge porn in 2020 that didn't make Twitter, and in the process he doxxed a whole lot of Twitter employees, as well as Jack's personal email (That Tweet was however deleted in the names of Transparency & Free Speech).

Part Two is coming tomorrow.😒 The guy is really burning some serious bridges now.

@Anders @yoyoel oh wow Just when you think he cant stoop any lower! Isn't dozing illegal if the info isn't public? Pathetic.
@yoyoel I hope he doesn't publish birdwatch people. I'm pretty concerned for my safety already because some Russians don't like me being a #fella
@yoyoel Where did this happen?
@clacke @yoyoel It was in the long thread where Elmo and the hack writer tryed to say twitter acted improperly, but actually showed that the debated a lot, and correctly, about the policy to delete hacked info.
@yoyoel they. are. evil. And one jackass screenshotted your new account on the twitter thread which is how I found out you were on mastedon. Hang in there and go freeze all your public SM accounts These crazies find EVERYTHING geez
@yoyoel Correct. Review teams should be anon to the public, but remain under scrutiny.

@yoyoel how about letting Russian gangsters file a fraudulent dmca against someone then using that as an excuse to boot them?

I know your deal, son.

@yoyoel bro. I’m a black person, and the only reason I voted for Biden was I thought this a conspiracy theory. It hurts me deeply that because of your negligence of the truth, I voted Biden but if I would have known the truth. My vote would have been for Trump. Clearly this man is the last man on earth who actually love this country from a patriotic view point.
@yoyoel I still can’t believe that guy was able to get other people to fund his self destruction, in public and in real time

@yoyoel I feel comfortable suggesting that a reasonable person would know, or should have known, the potential outcomes of making such information public.

I also feel comfortable asserting that it is not physically possible that there are any regulatory, policy, or legal advisors anywhere near the people making these decisions...or maybe I just need to believe that to retain some faith in humanity?

@yoyoel Thanks for your service. I blocked more people just on this thread than all I had ever blocked before! And then I stopped reading. Wow. You certainly bring out the haters.
@yoyoel musk is putting ex employees on a false public trial that is being conducted by taibbi - a convenient idiot.
Musk is getting desperate he's never faced humiliation like this before.

@yoyoel At #OkCupid we used to have all of the #moderation and #CustomerService people on the /about page - It wasn't until one of the C-levelers started getting hassled about moderation issues that I managed to get that page made internal only.

By that point all of the T&S people were using fake names, which made it pointless as an internal who's who page anyway.

Oddly, it was never removed when some nutter was posting the CEO Anthrax in 2017.

It's an odd world :)

@yoyoel If someone has done wrong, he has to face it.

By saying this you prove that it is all true.

It is surprising.
