So everyone knows the full extent of what is going on with the Mark Di Stefano drama, I'll do a thread. Strap in boys, Mark has been a very naughty boy.

Mark worked for Buzzfeed for many years, during this time he would intimidate platforms to deplatform/demonetise people who he claimed were far right.

Which in Marks eyes is everyone to the right of Chairman Mao.

He was more of an activist than a journalist.

He has managed to deplatform Tommy Robinson constantly, as well as get me, Sargon and many others whole channels demonetised, by lying to the platforms saying that we are satanic super-nazi preists trying to resurrect Hitler to begin the second boogaloo.

Also known as "lying".

At Buzzfeed he was doing all kinds of subterfuge, lying, getting info by very sinister means, but this is all part and parcel of working at a place like Buzzfeed or other left wing rags.

They don't care about ethics or morals, they care about money, by any means necessary.

So after years of that, he got used to it, he kind of thought that is what journalism is.

Then in January of this year, he gets hired by The Financial Times, a proper "I'm a big boy now" publication, not the type that constantly lies or publishes top ten lists about avocados.

He however is still doing his usual scheming, he seemed to think that manipulation and crossing the line of what is considered "legal" is just something that you do as a journlist.

He even seems to have an issue with Data Protection laws that protect your private information.

Fast forward to today, Mark Di Stefano has been suspended from the Financial Times after just 3 months. So what did he do?

Well the boy fucked up, big time, so much so that it's actually causing problems between major newspapers, and has probably cost him his career.

Due to COVID, a lot of workplaces are conducting meetings via Zoom, Zoom is notorious for being lax in security, lots of trolling videos appearing on Youtube of people joining and trolling meetings.

Mark decided to exploit this to gather information.

By spying on rival papers.

Mark snuck into private staff meetings for The Independent and The Evening Standard newspapers, but despite his years of subterfuge training at Buzzfeed, he fucked up.

By joining the meeting with an account using HIS FINANCIAL TIMES WORK EMAIL, showing his FULL NAME to everyone.

Mark realises that he fucked up and instantly disconnects and then rejoin the meeting using a different account.

He begins listening to staff being told they are being furloughed, loss of work due to COVID etc.

Mark then starts LIVE TWEETING ALL THIS INFO WHILE IN THE MEETING.

In an investigation these accounts were traced back to Mark and the second account he joined with was traced to his personal mobile phone.

Zoom would not give out that type of information which is why some people are theorizing that there could be police involvement.

As a result, both newspapers and their staff who were spied on are (rightfully so) very fucking mad.

Currently, Mark has been suspended from the Financial Times pending an investigation. He could possibly be losing his job, career and possibly a criminal charge.

The Financial Times are doing damage control, asking other publications to remove the words "hack" and "hacked" from their stories covering this.

So what happens now with this dishonest journalist? We need to wait and see.

Also @ytcreators I'd like my monetization back.
