Doesn't this sort of invalidate your point? Microsoft is going to know they accidentally leaked their comments and start stripping them.
It's not possible to perform journalism here without revealing where you got the information you're reporting. Seriously, how do you write this story without making it obvious that your big scoop is the comments from the paper?

- withinboredom 4y agoThe issue is that the twitter thread makes it out that leaving comments is “amateur” or “wrong” without giving the author a fair chance to rebut them. Anyone seeing this is going to start stripping their comments so they don’t get framed this way.
