Here is a story for you.
Online slander is a big problem. @kashhill wrote a big piece about this earlier in the year. nytimes.com/2021/01/30/tec…
If you’re slandered online, people often pay thousands of dollars to “reputation management” companies to get the slander deleted. (1/4)

We wanted to see who is making money from the online slander industry.
So we did an experiment. The @nytimes slandered one of its reporters: @aaron_krolik.
We watched as a couple of our slanderous posts about Aaron cascaded across the internet. (2/4)

It was going to cost $20K to remove Aaron’s slander. (We didn’t pay.)
We spent months tracking who is behind this. There are shell companies and fake identities and many liars.
We learned that those spreading slander and those being paid to remove it are the same. (3/4)
