Keeping Major Stories Eternally Suppressed by Cease-and-Desist?

Overlapping some of the Alex Graveley (best friend of Nat Friedman) blunders and censorship attempts

Silence

THIS ongoing series about Nadella may be around halfway through (official documents still pursued), but it seems to overlap the GitHub exposé that we started in 2021 (more than 2 years ago).

Today and later this week we want to speak about suppression of stories, either by threats or other nefarious means. Some of these means may, in their own right, be illegal.

To be very clear, Nat Friedman is still VP (Vice President) at Microsoft, even if he no longer "leads" GitHub. One reader of ours did the legwork and checked this, just to be 100% sure, based on official documentation. To quote:

I did a little more digging and Nat is still a VP at Microsoft.

Texas corporate filings require that officers be listed.

Search file #: 19111444428
The click details > public information report.

Or Alaska:

Entity #: 78035F

Both of these searches have been buggy with the entity number for me, but if you search for Microsoft then verify the numbers you'll have the correct filings.

Figured how to direct link Alaska:

Alaska on MSFT Corporation: Mr. Friedman

As we noted before, Mr. Friedman has been trying to hide his connections to Mr. Graveley (the Serial Strangler), apparently by hiring a firm to manipulate Wikipedia. As we shall show later, the same lawyer whom they used to send me veiled threats may have done the same for Mr. Nadella, whose Wikipedia page is guarded against any mentions of his dark past.

What we're basically trying to say is, Microsoft management is eager to cover up serious scandals and it's using or reusing some of the same people - not to mention methods - to suppress reporting.

Getting around the threats and the censorship isn't impossible. It just makes things a little harder and some people are hesitant to talk (out of fear).
