Note lack of serious custodial sentence. 3 years suspended.
Said engineer also had serious clout at Wordpress and was alleged to be instrumental in getting Gallus mag locked out as admin on Wordpress and getting Cathy Brennan’s gender identity watch site taken down.

The actions of large platforms like twitter and Wordpress should be open to scrutiny.
There’s also an important point here that when we allow a few social media platforms to dominate and we live so much of our lives online, we hand them huge power. Those platforms have massive ability to censor or promote whatever they want with no scrutiny. It’s a powerful case for busting the monopolies they hold and diversifying to multiple, smaller, open platforms.
