@FeralRobots @dalias

The last thing on her wikipedia page says that her social media presence was reduced following a police visit in 2023.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@rl_dane @FeralRobots Yeah as I recall that was a separate incident from the "vanning". Just a "visit" from the police.

i don't really want to either, just saw the opportunity was there, since your posts were literally next to each other in my feed. thought it may have been fate or something. silly-emoji

@dalias what happened with Naomi Wu? i'm way out of the loop here, sorry

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@svp The Vice bros (same ppl as 404 now) setup an interview with her promising not to ask certain invasive personal questions that she told them would endanger her, then did just that, outing her without her consent. And then when she retaliated releasing minor personal information about them on YouTube, they reported her to Patreon for doxxing and destroyed her income.

@dalias guess that 404media subscription won't be getting renewed by me, damn.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@svp This was a long time ago, but they never apologized or admitted they did anything wrong, and as such I've never trusted them.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@dalias @svp They've also never answered you when you mention it, iirc.

[dalias@hachyderm.io]

@lispi314 @svp Yeah, they clearly have thought about this and have a policy of not addressing it.

[lispi314@udongein.xyz]

@dalias@hachyderm.io @svp@akkoma.mespr.it Not quite stepping into Streisand effect, but certainly adjacent.
