!/ Debriefing of my encounter with @BecauseIMatter who insists "I’ll always listen & learn from those who’ve come before me but I have specific reasons for why I do things for our community. Don't assume it’s for attention, likes or followers." She is a paid rep for #BigPharma
2/ Her "Rookie of the Year Winner" is not on Tedtalks but the kind of thing this for-profit company congratulates itself for passing out to those who team up with it
3/ The 2 founders of this company, Tim and Oliver, came over from #BigPharma GlaxoSmithKline [hiss, villain] and congratulate themselves on their brilliant idea to make money partnering patients and 'those working on a book' with #BigPharma wants patients groups to said.
3/ This is a variation on the oldest profession in the world. We need to be rude in our insistence on ethics and transparency in the disclosure of conflict of interest. Check out @WeMatterTooInc where the dysinformation begins. Some lasses over in Ireland got conned.
2/ When many of us started paying for Medium, there was no talk of a Trust & Safety team with sole authority and final decisions about whether articles will be removed. Few are aware even today, a year after the Trust and Safety team was implemented by stealth.
3/ The censorship of my article occurred for reasons that would be considered inane and offensive to intelligent writers and readers. Yet the Trust & Safety team did not provide a serious basis for appeal and no one but me and a raging hateful troll knew my article was censored.
