American College of Pediatricians Leak Exposes 10,000 Confidential Files

A Google Drive left public on the American College of Pediatricians’ website exposed detailed financial records, sensitive member details, and more.

WIRED
haha, doodoo

@dell It’s still live … at the “premier destination for nonprofits and nonprofit research”

I wonder if ACP paid the $2,800 for a yearly subscription to Guidestar Pro Plus … 🥴

@peterbutler oh yeah i found that like 5 min before we published
@dell "While the group’s membership rolls are not public, the leak has outed most if not all of its members. A cursory review of the member lists surfaced one name of note: a recent commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, who after joining in 2019 asked that his membership with the group remain a secret. (WIRED was unable to reach the official for comment in time for publication.)" cc: @TexasObserver
@dell Wow. Evil among us. I love the "doo-doo" defacement! Assholes of the first order.
@dell PS: Excellent reporting here!
@dell not to be confused with the American Academy of Pediatrics.

@jackscerebellum @dell

correct, the AAP is the legitimate group representing 50,000+ pediatricians. The “college” is a few hundred bigots.

@dell

Follow the money.

The anti-choice lobby is funded & we deserve to know who is funding attacks on the civil rights of women.

@dell A fucking public Google drive?! Just wow...
@seanking towards the end of the article they say the group has all of one employee. My guess is they have none now.
@dell well, this should be fun
@dell there is a LOT of dirt here.
@spacewizard haven’t even scraped the top yet
@dell (doing the "reply and then boost your own reply" quasi-quote-toot thing)
@dell oh damn be a real shame is someone leaked the entire dataset out for people to go through and find damning evidence.
@dell I'll bet they're into crypto. Somebody do a search in there.
@dell Dystopian science fiction did not prepare us for just how stupid and frustrating the decline of civilization would be.
@aburka @dell you've not read the Foundation books, then :D
@aburka @dell
It’s like American cities: In movies they look gritty and run-down and cool. In real life they’re gritty and run-down.
@dell Over at the Chicago Board of Trade, popcorn futures just hit new highs.

@dell

Does it list donors?

@dell To be fair, this doesn't even count as a breach. More like they left their paperwork in an alley and someone walked by and found it.
@dell Not to be confused with the American Academy of Pediatrics, which tends to hold diametrically opposed views to those espoused by this right wing advocacy organization.

@dell
Good work.
ACP reminded me of another interesting medical group, AAPS:

I haven't seen any direct connections, but they certainly share some views:

Anti-Science Associations: Rand Paul, Jane Orient, Art Robinson, Willie Soon And Friends, Plus HHS Nominee Tom Price & Funder Robert Mercer

Update 11/30/16 Tom Price, Donald Trump’s nominee to run Health and Human Services was(is?) an AAPS Member, discussed in far more detail by Orac in this recommended 11/30/16 post.  Update 12/01/16 A year ago, Zachary Mider wrote What Kind of Man Spends Millions to Elect Ted Cruz? about Robert Mercer, who then strongly backed Donald Trump’s […]

@dell saddened but unsurprised to see Little Rock has a disproportionate number of these clowns.
@dell thanks. Not surprising. I would have been surprised were it not true.
@dell There is speculation in my neighborhood. Judge K. had ties with group that brought the suit. That would also be surprising if it were not true, but I won't post sources 'cause they did give any for their story.
@dell
The more I read, the more theistic religion seems like a gaslighting, toxic relationship.
American College of Pediatricians

The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) is a fringe anti-LGBTQ hate group that masquerades as the premier U.S. association of pediatricians to push anti-LGBTQ junk science, primarily via far-right conservative media and filing amicus briefs in cases related to gay adoption and marriage equality.​

Southern Poverty Law Center

@dell These people always put effort into making their hate groups sound palatable, because they know their base never reads beyond the headlines. And those obsessed enough to are likely as crazed as they.

To everyone else their cruelty is apparent from miles away.

@dell
"BREAKING: The pediatrics group suing to ban..."

You spelled 'misogynistic, christo-fascist group' wrong.

@dell Great article. Didn’t know any of this about ACP.
