Basically, it's as if Amazon threatened someone's account on AWS because someone posted an article about something Jeff Bezos actually said.
- macspoofing 13y agoI've used this example above, but requesting he remove identifying information from the post is a prudent and reasonable request. Reddit, for example, had major issues with vigilante groups forming after some inflammatory posting which also named some private individuals. More often than not, it led to innocent people being harassed. I've just re-read the original post, and it's a total personal attack against a private individual for no good reason. What's he trying to do? Embarrass him? Get him fired? Why target some random Google employee for a semi-controversial opinion. What's his motivation?! >Basically, it's as if Amazon threatened someone's account on AWS because someone posted an article about something Jeff Bezos actually said. Jeff Bezos is the founder, CEO and the public face of one of the biggest corporations in the world. This Googler is not Jeff Bezos. He's just a developer, one of thousands at Google. There is a difference here.
