Nothing you write in a work email is private. Everyone knows this. Never write anything in an email that you wouldn’t want read in court.

  That nothing in work email is private is well-known (not everyone knows this). That wasn't my point. I place "company looks at employee's email after a credible report of hacking/abuse/whatever" and "rich person purchases major tech platform and uses it to publicize ex-employees email to affect public opinions" in two different categories, especially given the ex-employee was a C-level officer handling some extremely complex and sensitive decisions.

    They’re telling people the truth about how the decisions were made. Complaining that this “affects public opinion” and that the emails were “sensitive“ is just a fancy way of saying that what the public was previously told were lies.

      What in the emails indicates anything was a lie? You'd think Taibbi would bring that out if there was such a hot example. Besides, the poster's point was that many of these people are now going to receive death threats from whackjobs, not that their contents were too sensitive.

    It doesn't seem that different from the more typical "rich person (or company) sues major tech platform, employee emails become public record as part of the lawsuit and are publicized to affect public opinion". Though it is amusing that both sides are the same company in this case.
