The simultaneous rise of social media (esp. twitter, which never made any delineation between public figures & private citizens) & fall of traditional media in its capacity to curate (or generate $$$) have led to some truly disturbing + sociopathic norms within that profession
Someone's going after Riva now; publicly requesting information about her as a known "Thiel aasociate" (very Red Scare, but OK), desperately trying to find dirt on anyone replying to him critically, & now taunting Riva for not being able to effectively regain any shred of privacypic.twitter.com/7i6bOU86zM
There are good reasons to not throw out "seeking tips on this chick" tweets to randoms, one of which being that the world inevitably contains more crazies & liars than people who know anything. Most frightening: it's now a free-to-use tool of intimidation against private citizens
People don't understand how to determine who is or isn't a "public figure" anymore, a descriptor that used to almost always come with resources for maintaining *some* privacy & managing harassment. It's VERY scary to be targeted this way when you don't necessarily have that

That's insane. I hope Riva is doing ok.
That's pathetic. What is the hard-on that people have for Peter and the people who have dealt with him? Are they that fragile and threatened by the truth about threats? Or that he doesn't fit into the mold they want him to?
Peter Thiel has succeeded greatly, supported freedom, and represents the exemplar capitalist.
