Where We Stand With the Winter Series
In January we said we'd start 3 new series, to be running in parallel because there are slight overlaps (parallels) in the "theme" sense. They're all based on material that isn't accessible to the public. We'll need to protect names and sources throughout.
One concerns "cancel culture", which relates to or even depends on what has been done to my wife and I since around 2021 ("Five Years Ago, After We Broke the Story About Richard Stallman Rejoining the FSF's Board, All Hell Broke Loose (for Me and My Family)"; see the 2021 SLAPPs). Another one concerns the UK's Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), which admits it's unable to cope with the caseload (that makes it a useless, hopeless regulator). See Part I, Part II, Part III, and Part IV of the series, we'll soon starting showing our communications with the SRA about SLAPP from the Serial Strangler (Microsoft, US).
Finally, we also started a series about the mobbing at the EPO. There are some really ugly communications that we saw and we need to carefully cover them without revealing the identity/ies of the leakers. Thankfully, this series coincides with the biggest EPO strikes seen in 8 years! We're trying to adjust the pace of the series based on the industrial actions undertaken by EPO staff. We said the series should all last about 2 months, but now it's realistic to predict even 3 months. We're in no particular hurry because these matters aren't so time-sensitive (delayed publication would still have timely effect/impact). █
