[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:14] <Source> Wilsee I'm thinking about pursuing counter litigation[02:14] <schestowitz> it's the typical PR strategy
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:14] <schestowitz> with gates, when we exposed the pedophilia links 2+ years ago
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:14] <Source> We'll see... sorry text to speech
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:14] <schestowitz> they started doing press releases on how they protect kids
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <Source> Well I think that was more about ice
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <Source> May be related
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <Source> They actually have some sort of integrity Hotline now
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <Source> At Microsoft
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <schestowitz> they should use it
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <schestowitz> to report themselves
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <Source> Lol
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:15] <schestowitz> http://techrights.org/2021/03/17/epoleaks-report-march-2021-part-12/
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:17] <Source> yeah... depressing
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <schestowitz> welcome to my world...
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <schestowitz> I deal with scum like this all the time
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <Source> Oh I'm already there
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <schestowitz> EPO especially
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <schestowitz> gangsters
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <schestowitz> in suits
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <Source>  Come to the realization that letting things slide with sexual predators at work
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:18] <Source> Is sex trafficking[02:19] <Source> It's literally part of my job every time someone sexually harasses me and HR tells me to shut up
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:19] <Source> I'm a sex worker when that happens[02:19] <Source> And not by choice
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:19] <Source> I'm being trafficked [02:19] <Source> Obviously there's levels of severity to everything but it's the logical conclusion[02:21] <Source> one of the apple whistleblowers was quite literally told to have sex with a vendor by her boss[02:22] <Source> https://www.ashleygjovik.com/ashleys-apple-story.html
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:22] <Source> Her story is really interesting
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:22] <Source> There's a picture floating around of Steve Jobs widow with Glenn Maxwell
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:22] <Source> Ghislaine Maxwell
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:22] <Source> I think it might be fake though
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:23] <Source> https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2022/01/children-sex-trafficking-conspiracy-epidemic/620845/
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:23] <Source> But I sought in relation to this and someone pointed out the connection that job's ex wife owns the Atlantic
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:23] <Source> So that lends some credibility but they only places I have been able to find the source of that photo are conspiracy sites
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:24] <schestowitz> ah, too much misnofmation onlikne
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:24] <schestowitz> also regarding Steve Jobs
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:25] <schestowitz> police sites are connected to a physical operation
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:25] <schestowitz> the site is just a window to that
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:27] <Source> Yeah I mean it seems plausible
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:27] <Source> I don't know Jobs owned the Atlantic
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:27] <Source> Seems like they all have their own media outlets
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:28] <Source> I keep on wondering why somebody doesn't make a decentralized crypto micropayment org to allow articles to be pay-per-view [02:29] <Source> Like if we were able to pay for each article using the same currency[02:29] <Source> It doesn't even have to be crypto if that's a concern it could just be a micro payment system where you buy credits. [02:29] <Source> But every single news site wants to rope you into a subscri
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	ption that you'll probably forget you have
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:29] <Source> So I end up never subscribing to anything
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:29] <schestowitz> we are no friends of "crypto" "money"
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <Source> Where is I'd probably spend $20 a month on reading random articles
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> if you look at Techrights  Daily Links
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> it's an energy hog
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <Source> I mean it's arguable that the ends justify the means
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> we also oppose paywalls
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> they kill the open WWW
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <Source> Well journalist need to get paid somehow
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> yes
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <Source> And if there isn't a way to pay them
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> but that's not the right way
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> and
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <Source> Well ads are biased
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> it doesn't work
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:30] <schestowitz> many tried it
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <Source> Makes you beholden to your advertisers
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> paywalls always fail at the end
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <Source> It seems like the new trend is for them to just be propaganda machines for billionaires
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <Source> If the government ran it as a public service than the government wouldn't be accountable
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> even NPR is bribed
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> Gates, Facebook, Microsoft
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> PBS the same
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> sadly
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> many people are not aware
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> BBC too
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:31] <schestowitz> Guardian
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:32] <schestowitz> Der Spiegel
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:32] <Source> Well I mean that's why I think a decentralized payment system even if it's not cryptocurrency would be better[02:32] <Source> Do you know of course there's the "influencer journalists" as well[02:32] <Source>  Of course a larger organization has better mechanisms for quality and fact checking[02:33] <Source> OK well I'll let you go I know it's super late and thank you so much for all your work
[04:54]	schestowitz[TR2]	[02:33] <Source> Have a good evening[02:34] <--   xxxx has left this server (connection closed).
