Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

They shouldn’t let this become common. Hiding who Runs the company just makes them even MORE faceless and disconnected from humanity. Maybe focus on not shafting literally the entire population for money and shit coverage.

Oh boy sounds like they're afraid of copycat killers.

Why - are they doing something that should make them afraid?

I don't get the fuss about it. Guy went voting ... he had no paper vote against what fucked him, his loved ones, and millions of fellow Americans over, so he used a high velocity lead vote. Still, just democracy at work.

Aren't public companies public?

Even if they arent, something like ddosecrets probably contains a number of members at the very least. You just can't hide your employment.

Quick! To LinkedIn!

theres a sentence I'd never expected to ever read.

Expected, I guess.

The irony is that if a lot of corpos start doing this, it makes a cult of personality impossible. In the case of UC it probably doesn't apply anywhere, but it will elsewhere.

They forgot two names: Ms. Wayback Machine and Mr. Archive Today.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Publicly traded companies would have all this listed in official filings, anyway.

Yeah, but there are some problems with LinkedIn: content can be edited, profiles can be hibernated or deleted, not to mention the need of being logged in with a LinkedIn account in order to visit a profile (something that will be snitched to the profile being visited, especially if such profile pays for LinkedIn Premium, they get to see everyone who visited them).

Deletion and edition are improbable (although not impossible) to happen on Wayback Machine and Archive Today (and anybody can visit the archive, no account is needed).

Then i guess we've all got to visit the exec pages on linked in so the real guy becomes a drop in the ocean

Good! The ONLY way to Protect Themselves is to Hide and definitely NOT to create Policies that HELP the Working Class!
