Of course spouting a load of nonsense about former Twitter employees to the point that they have to evacuate their home is perfectly ok by that same token.
“Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, and his family were forced from their home after Elon Musk’s tweets misrepresented Roth’s academic writing about sexual activity and children.”
“Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, and his family were forced from their home … according to a person familiar with Roth’s situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity”
Forgive me if I don’t give the Washington Post’s vague reporting and anonymous sources much credence. There are zero details here, and no claim of independent verification other than repeating the hearsay of an anonymous “person familiar” — not even a direct source.
How has this story been verified? If it was verified, how were they “forced”? Under what circumstances, specifically?
According to you then, you either believe in Musk way more than in Washington Post, or you must think that reasoning of Musk is also such a fabrication. Neither seems to me a well reasoned position with the current information available.
The article makes clear more details are not given for safety reasons, which is appropriate given harassment has occurred.
You can dismiss mainstream press if you like, but the point is it’s not a HN commenter being hysterical or equivalent to subreddit speculation: this is reported news.
I think we can all agree that celebrity stalking via plane tracking apps ought to have been prioritized above all the other safety issues Twitter is still fumbling around on ineffectually.
What does that have at all to do with posting the already publicly available location of his jet? Seems like a pretty obvious attempt to play on people's emotions and shut down any kind of rational thinking to cover up for Elon just banning people that annoy him.
