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 2. any emails sent from andy et al would be "," not "" 3. a source just confirmed there's no email alias called "Internal"

Imagine if TikTok gave the CCP the ability to delete TikTok posts they didn't like. That's what The Wire India claims Instagram did with an Indian government official. @andymstone @MetaNewsroom — did this happen? is The Wire India's reporting accurate? twitter.com/PranavDixit/st…

i double checked with *another* source who confirmed that email addresses were given out on a rolling basis; press folks (like andy) got them first, which is what makes this email so strange

lol you don't want to see my dm's right now but like,,,, i feel that folks are construing my stance as "anti-journalism," when it's actually "anti-forgery"

You're going to get a lot of hate from other journalists but hot damn what an integrity move calling this out because you are 100% right.

i've been getting *a ton* of dm's from reporters also speculating that this might be the case, which would be..... horrifying. and totally believable

The Wire just destroyed their credibility, the BJP is setting up a government agency to oversee content moderation and Facebook's products will be extremely important in the 2024 elections so, yeah, this could have been an extremely successful op against opposition journalism.

Explain the language in the email. It's looks like one sent by a manager at any WITCH company, not some gora. That's the clincher. Surprised that Varadarajan didn't put more effort into this fraud of a "scoop".
