Probably not very helpful/informational but:
I work for VzM, but not historically directly on Yahoo products (product teams have been merged/consolidated etc. over the past few years, but there's still strong tendencies toward products people came from).
So I wouldn't be very clued into what's happening with Yahoo Groups internally. And I've heard nothing about this internally. At all.
As it stands, it's 2:30pm in SV, VzM is top of the HN frontpage, and not a single soul has mentioned it yet on internal Slack.
Will see if I can find out more.
- Diagon 7y agoThat could really help. Thank you!
- spsful 7y agoI hope this doesn't sound naive, but what does the M in VzM stand for?
- rkagerer 7y agoMaybe you could be the one to raise it on the Slack channel and (even better) get some eyeballs with authority clued in on the matter.
- notduncansmith 7y agoSeems risky at this point, since they’ve already posted here. Probably better to wait quietly and report.
- ISL 7y agoWhy would it be risky? Surfacing an issue that is important to the public, where future/planned actions by the company could become a PR debacle sounds important.
- notduncansmith 7y agoWe're commenting on an article that describes Verizon giving 0 fucks about what is "important to the public".
- ygthrowaway 7y agoIt was someone quite high up in the company who was the first to raise in Slack actually; though it's clear were similarly not highly clued in to this before yesterday, and no substantive replies or info yet (just other colleagues with similar concerns). I'm guessing this will blow up later this morning when people start waking for the work week.
- Diagon 7y agoThanks. We also noticed that BoingBoing picked it up. Their graphics are a bit crude - but that's BoingBoing. We're trying to be more polite here: https://boingboing.net/2019/12/08/oath-makes-you-swear-2.html https://boingboing.net/2019/12/08/oath-makes-you-swear-2.htm...
- jacquesm 7y agoCrude but quite applicable.
