- hombre_fatal 4y agoEh, the "random mean girls gossip at a middle school" was a Twitter pressure campaign so powerful that it was able to sway an internet backbone megacorp (and others incl the Internet Archive) to drop a website. And drop it days after the megacorp doubled down on its decision to not drop the website. With the only smoking gun, as far as anyone can tell (but you can't look anymore because the pressure campaign got it removed from the Internet Archive), being two posts in a thread of 50,000 posts that were made from sleeper accounts that were deleted immediately. And only a few people cared to look into it rather than echo exactly what the pressure campaign claimed to be true. That should be very concerning. I definitely recommend the linked podcast. I found it surprisingly fair to the parties involved.
