This is a letter being read at an MIT faculty meeting happening right now - and it sounds an awful lot like Stallman defenders slipped this one in there. Unless there are other MIT faculty who think they are “victims of false assumptions” recently?https://twitter.com/EthanZ/status/1174417498713858048 …

No, this sounds exactly like what Stallman supporters have been spreading on HackerNews, Reddit, and also (to a lesser extent)Twitter.

Also, on Reddit, right-wing trolls have seized upon the narrative that Stallman was a fatality of cancel culture, and have been pretty brazingly spreading that narrative.

If that's true then they've gone rogue because the alt-right mothership is fully onboard with the Stallman character assassination. I'm seeing more bot activity denigrating Stallman than defending.pic.twitter.com/6f7o27IdNw

Interesting, cause on Reddit it's pretty clearly the opposite.

People will have their neurons short circuited in various ways. Even though the headlines are trivially exposed as inverting the truth they will be seen as the work of SJW cancel culture rather than a network of agents in proprietary tech.

Ha, not a techbro, techbro. Neither is Barry Diller, neither is he a good person. I'm finding an alarming amount of people seemingly onboard with libellous headlines.
