The web is simply a comedy of errors and agendas.
- LinkedIn sends the wrong guy's network a libelous e-mail
- Slate reports on said wrongdoing and has to issue corrections about the details [1]
- Turns out the author is a writer with a play to hawk [2]
- And the original 'White Supremacist' gets still more press than most of us want he and his organization to receive.
It all represents everything that is wrong with the web in a single post.
From the article's footnotes:
[1] *Correction, May 25, 2016: This article originally misspelled David Sacks’ last name. It also misstated that his birthday party cost $125 million. It took place in a house then being sold for $125 million. (Return.)
[2] Will Johnson is a teacher and writer based in New York City. His newest play, Blue Balls, will premiere at the Labute New Theater Festival in St. Louis this July.
- underpantsgnome 10y agoGiven the context, I kinda hope the error/correction was intentional, committed by someone who doesn't like David Sacks.
- efes 10y agoso his name was misspelled intentionally so linkedin would not inform his lawyer and/or publicist of the article?
