Hi Dave,
These tactics aren't new. Only a week after I had resigned I received a threatening and legally-invalid letter from the CEO telling me to remove any criticism of the company (published after I already resigned). http://techrights.org/wiki/Sirius_Open_Source#Attempts_to_Censor_Facts Last month the above-mentioned CEO abruptly left the company and in recent weeks he worked hard to hide all traces of him ever working for Sirius: http://techrights.org/2023/03/13/sirius-deleted-entirely/ http://techrights.org/2023/03/21/sirius-open-source-purged/ Today: http://techrights.org/2023/04/12/sirius-no-more/ It is imperative that people understand what Sirius really is to prevent this mailing list being leveraged to groom future victims.
Kind regards,
