schestowitz | "An angry MIT alumni who was forwarded the email then "started emailing reporters -- local and national, news sites, newspapers, radio stations" -- and then not receiving quick enough responses, published it herself in a Medium essay titled "Remove Richard Stallman. And everyone else horrible in tech." And then leaked the whole thread to Vice.' | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | " | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | The Vice article takes one specific quote out of context and removes key | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | words from it to change the meaning into a clickbait headline and story. | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | The article explains that Stallman insists that Epstein's victims were | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | "entirely willing" to be trafficked, which is a blatant misquote. | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | What Stallman actually wrote in the e-mail thread [1] is that, because | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | Virginia Giuffre was coerced by Epstein, Epstein would have surely | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | forced her to conceal the coercion from people like Marvin Minsky. | Sep 23 04:17 |
schestowitz | Therefore she would have presented herself to Minsky as "entirely | Sep 23 04:17 |
