The Vice article refers to it and the CEO's tweet:

- woodruffw 4y agoThis is stunning (from the NYT piece): > In 2019, former Kraken employees posted scathing comments about the company on Glassdoor, a website where workers write anonymous reviews of their employers. > “Kraken is the perfect allegory for any utopian government ideal,” one reviewer wrote. “Great ideas in theory but in practice they end up very controlling, negative and mistrustful.” > In response, Kraken’s parent company sued the anonymous reviewers and tried to force Glassdoor to reveal their identities. A court ordered Glassdoor to turn over some names. Kraken's CEO's notion of "free speech" appears to extend to exactly the periphery of criticism.
- phillipcarter 4y agoAbsolutely hilarious. I'm reminded of every single Republican lawmaker who grandstands against gay marriage, only to have it be revealed that they're having affairs with other gay men.
- moneywoes 4y agoCrazy. I guess Glassdoor would have handed their IPs in this case?
