The only objection journalists like have to "surveillance capitalism" is that they want to be the monopoly providers!
This is the same guy who outed Naomi Wu (), by the way.

Here's Naomi's story.

Okay here goes Sarah Jeong, Jason Koebler, Vice Magazine, and me.
I know it's not great, I say what I can and it's understandable if that's unsatisfactory. I think it does give a better idea of my experience though. RT if you think it's helpful.

The state of "tech journalism" has very little to do with tech or journalism, and very much to do with harassing innocent people like Naomi.

I'm just saying @Vice if you fired the homophobic shitbags who supported outing me it would be a kind of two-for-one because I'd stop dragging your bloated corpse. Squeeze that pustule and let the @jason_koebler & @Lorenzofb squirt out.

These people endangered Naomi for clicks. The only reason they get away with it is that their sources don't all talk to each other. Yet.

I'll back off when @jason_koebler @sarahjeong @amandahess @hasanminhaj are subject to meaningful professional consequences for targeting an at-risk Chinese source simply for clicks and self-promotion. That's well-known heads on pikes to give others pause, that will make me safer.

you're equating someone leaking audio of you on Clubhouse to outing an activist living in a police state, nice

Let’s just create a shitlist where negative journalism can be fact checked and mapped to an integrity score. Paid access only. Money goes to fact checkers.

I say this as someone who has worked with you in the past, respects you highly, and sees your side in this weird Twitter feud: many of these tweets seem both paranoid and beneath your highest state of consciousness. U need to be solving problems, not wasting time picking fights.
