tfw u’ve been facing 10 straight hrs of cross-border harassment bc you tweeted something like “idk sometimes tech reporters are wrong and the companies they cover are in the right. that’s not a failure, that’s being human”

meanwhile ur just fwiw i’ve gotten a *lot* more evidence from other meta workers over those 10 hrs that, again, pretty much confirm that these emails aren’t real. i’d share it here, but i’m kinda busy being

just read the Big FB Scoop everyone's talking about and...... about these leaks.... 🧐

1. "instagram.workplace.com" isn't a URL that exists lmao

@Meta @fb i am, as always, the last person to side with FB on.... anything; but like, these are clearly forged documents. and any article based off of them should be retracted, no matter which side it's on

i wrote this piece 2 years ago when folks were dm'ing me, terrified abt attending protests and leaking sensitive data to cops in the process. this is a loooooong piece (and pretty grim), but most of the same steps apply here. and it's just as grim
