A thread on why doxxing is bad.

Basically, the mob often identifies the wrong people and ruins lives.

 “The cyclist was wrongly identified by internet sleuths as marketing executive Peter Weinberg.”

“His home address was shared online.”

“After being wrongly identified, Quinn received countless threats online, with users calling him a racist and posting his home address and personal information online, according to the Times.”

“The internet cheered. The media made house calls ... only one problem: wrong house.”

Skai Jackson is being slammed after reports surfaced that she put 'an entire family into poverty' after she allegedly shared details about a 13-year-old boy on Twitter.

“In less than 24-hours, Sunil's name spread all over the Internet as the face of one of the Boston Marathon Bombing suspects.”

“But he wasn't guilty. As his family would soon learn, he was dead.”

“The user acted unilaterally, releasing the name of an unrelated officer on the assumption that releasing the wrong name would eventually result in Ferguson's Police Department releasing the correct one.”

https://t.co/kHXPRGGvbg
“The Ferguson PD actually tweeted at us saying that this is not the officer responsible for the murder,” Pharaoh said in a lengthy chat via IRC, Anonymous’s preferred communication platform. “But they could be lying.”

Reader, they weren’t lying.

“I broke when I realized that Anglin was also urging people to direct these attacks on my kids, my son. They made an image with photographs of me and my 12-year-old son on the entrance gate to the Auschwitz concentration camp.”

“The man initially named as the attacker who mowed down pedestrians and stabbed a police officer outside Parliament is in fact still in prison for an unrelated matter.”

“One amateur detective who’s been posting about the case on Facebook is Raquel Esquivel. She said she was motivated by a lack of arrests. After 3 days of working on it, she became convinced she’d identified one of the people.”

She was wrong.

“This is foolproof until someone uses the formula to frame someone who didn't actually say anything racist ... this turned out to in fact not be Brianna Rivera at all, but her ex-boyfriend, who changed his Facebook profile to resemble hers.”

"I hear, 'Someone is going to rape, torture & murder the women and children in your family," Hailey read from a comment.

"I just want everyone to back off. The truth is out. It had nothing to do with us, nothing to do with my uncle at all," said Hailey.

Dorian Nakamoto, a computer expert, had never heard of Bitcoin until his son mentioned it 3 weeks prior. He said many of the details in the story are correct, but that the main assertion is false.

“Donald Trump Jr. and conservative actor James Woods even identified the woman as Portia Boulger. But Boulger is now suing Woods for defamation, asking for $3 million in damages, because it’s definitely not her.”

Thread on doxxing Geary Danley, a man who was not involved in the Vegas shooting. https://t.co/MwS1S9bT36
So, spare me of any argument on why your doxxing is justified.

Doxxing is wrong.

The stories about people who have been misidentified barely make the news, but it ruins lives and makes people fear for the safety.

What’s sad is that none of you even care.
Feel free to continue attacking me though. Watching the lies evolve has been somewhat entertaining. 😂

JUST IN — "Camp Auschwitz" insurrectionist of the Capitol siege was just arrested this morning in Newport News, VIrginia.

2) this guy was just arrested.


3) We cannot have a repeat of the fascism from WW2. This is @Schwarzenegger’s speech was so powerful.


4) My wife @andreafeigl1’s 🇦🇹 great grandfather secretly fought Hilter’s Nazi regime & smuggled many Jews to safety as an aircraft engineer. He was thrown into a concentration camp, and escaped.

She knows a few things about Nazi history—Jan 6th was downright fascist. Read 👇


5) So this cover is from a semi-tabloid magazine in Germany, according to @andreafeigl1. But even so, how did such a magazine still get it so damn right?! Maybe Germany 🇩🇪 has seen this kinda fascism before...

THREAD PART 1

From #NoahsArmy⚡️ For Those New To His Story

On Sunday 21st June, 14 year old Noah Donohoe left his home to meet his friends at Cave Hill Belfast to study for school. #RememberMy💙

If thread stops please press show replies


Noah was on his black Apollo mountain bike, fully dressed, wearing a helmet and carrying a backpack containing his laptop and 2 books with his name on them. He also had his mobile phone with him.

On the 27th of June. Noah's naked body was sadly discovered 950m inside a storm drain, between access points. This storm drain was accessible through an area completely unfamiliar to him, behind houses at Northwood Road.


"Noah's body was found by specially trained police officers between two drain access points within a section of the tunnel running under the Translink access road," said Mr

Noah's bike was also found near a house, behind a car, in the same area. It had been there for more than 24 hours before a member of public who lived in the street said she read reports of a missing child and checked the bike and phoned the police.

NOW: 6 days after the insurrection, the FBI says it’s ready to prove a “quick” update.
Here goes with updates from FBI:
•160 cases files have been opened
•100,000 digital media tips have been received
•they FBI admits they had intelligence warning of an attack

•FBI says an arrest the night before the Capitol attack indicates they took action
•@AndyTriay has previously reported: FBI “disrupted” a number of individuals from traveling to DC. Which means they were urged not to come – or somehow stopped.

•FBI says there will be hundreds of criminal cases against suspects at the Capitol and prosecuting them could take months
•the acting D.C. U.S. attorney says most investigations were opened on misdemeanor charges but now the feds will indict those people on federal felonies

BREAKING: The acting U.S. Attorney in Washington D.C. says he’s ordered prosecutors to build cases to charge Americans who stormed the Capitol with sedition & conspiracy, if the evidence warrants charges against them depending on how they were involved.

NOW: Acting U.S. Attorney in D.C. says charges will also be brought against people who attacked members of the media.

1/ Someone emailed me asking how to break into VC, so I wanted to answer on Twitter where others could see and contribute to the conversation.

2/ “Being a VC” can mean a lot of different things, so it’s worth asking:

What actual activities do you want to do?

- Deep market analysis?
- Be in the flow of information and people?
- Make deals?
- Work closely w/ founders over time (e.g take board seats?)
- Manage capital?

3/ It’s worth specifying what type of VC you might like to become — as there are different archetypes. E.g.

- Benchmark (Lead series A/B - couple investments a year)
- First Round (Lead seed rounds, partner w/ a few companies a year)
- SV Angel (Make lots of seed investments)

4/ Continued:

Expa - Incubate companies

YC / Village Global - Build a platform to help entrepreneurs at scale

Do you want to join a firm or start one? There’s a lot to consider.

Different paths will require different skillsets & sets of experiences.

5/ Since the person who wrote the email is a young person trying to break into VC by joining a firm (and who doesn’t want to start a company), I’ll tailor this tweet storm to that goal. There’s some overlap.

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

Okay look - I didn’t grow up with comic books. But I read stacks of science fiction digests and I kit-bashed model cars into fantasy rods, and just tried to maintain a low profile until I could get out of the house. So you could say I’m a distant cousin of the comic book fan. /1

And sometimes one’s childhood passion follows them into adulthood, sometimes not, sometimes as an adult one finds a passion they never had as a child and embraces it. For me, that must include getting involved with a puppet show at the age of thirty. /2

So who’s to say whose passion’s legitimate and whose is bogus? Nobody. Someone might indict your passion but they have no ground to stand on and should be dismissed out of hand. /3

Maybe they’re envious that you have a passion, maybe they think that their passion is cooler than yours, or maybe they’re just insecure, who knows. Doesn’t matter. /4

What matters is that if something gives you joy, and in the process doesn’t hurt others, then by all means follow it. It’s how we explore our secret hopes, our shadow sides, our inner character. /5
