Who Speaks for Techrights

Team of 5



Summary: Techrights may have no spokespeople, but the word of few core members can qualify as this site's stance

IT IS truly unfortunate that in order to smear this Web site (for its message), some people will truly scrape the bottom of the barrel and resort to misattribution or misrepresentation. To prevent people from assuming that some certain impolite people speak on this site's behalf, one reader suggested that we provide a list of accounts whose messages we can be held liable for (in addition to blog posts, but not the wiki and IRC channels which are written by a lot of people). These accounts are:



Techrights: Techrights in Identi.ca | Techrights group in Identi.ca

Boycott Novell: Boycott Novell in Identi.ca | Boycott Novell in Twitter

TechBytes: TechBytes in Identi.ca | TechBytes group in Identi.ca.

Authors: Schestowitz in Identi.ca | Schestowitz in Twitter

If accounts other than the above are found, then they are probably fake and we would appreciate having them reported to us. If somebody claims to represent the site, then too the claim should be taken with a barrel of salt and assumed to be disowned by this Web site.
