YES! I learned this thanks to @luerverte because I put faith in fellow tech people pretending his name is not already public and I trusted them. I'm a fucking idiot. Never again.
Oh, come on. That is exactly how the internet works. This is exactly the argument platforms use to disregard our right to privacy and level of visibility we are comfortable with.

You guys just don't like him (fine!) but this is unprincipled and unjustified behavior by the NYT (especially since they don't do it to other people) and if they just get to do this, it's not good news for anyone who would like to have a pen name.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

And I know lots of dissidents around the world who use pen names who do not have great opsec whose lives would be ruined if the New York Times published a flattering article about them with their real name. Your argument sounds like Facebook’s to me.
