Twitter at the speed of parenting
Updates: Stallman posted what might be the worst non-apology I’ve ever read (and I’ve read a LOT of non-apologies).

The @fsf board remains silent.

Note what this apology includes: - a laser-like focus on his OWN experience of the incident - am attempt to shift blame to the media for “mischaracterizing” his words Note also what it does NOT include: - NO regret for having made the comments - NO plan to do better next time

- NO empathy for the primary victims: people who were upset when they read the actual email - NO hint, even, of awareness of those folks, despite one of them having written the medium post that kicked this all off

This is exactly the sort of bullshit he’s gotten away with for 30 years. NOT THIS TIME.

Stallman has resigned from MIT, still claiming it was due to a “misunderstanding” Dude, we understand you JUST fine. That’s the problem.https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/mbm74x/computer-scientist-richard-stallman-resigns-from-mit-over-epstein-comments …

Let’s not forget that he got that plum job at MIT due entirely to his position as
@fsf founder, president and board chair. That is his platform. That is the source of his power. Should the@fsf fail to remove him, he’ll use that platform to continue to poison our communities.4 replies 23 retweets 110 likesShow this thread -

Replying to @sarahmei
The next question is, should the FSF be disbanded? There were plenty of accomplices working along Stallman, the only way to restore their ethical position is to start with a clean slate

Maybe is what all of you were aiming for from the first moment. I ask myself if some company payed a lot of money to Selam or was done by free in promise of something int he future. What a disgrace.
