“Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, and his family were forced from their home after Elon Musk’s tweets misrepresented Roth’s academic writing about sexual activity and children.”
“Yoel Roth, Twitter’s former head of trust and safety, and his family were forced from their home … according to a person familiar with Roth’s situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity”
Forgive me if I don’t give the Washington Post’s vague reporting and anonymous sources much credence. There are zero details here, and no claim of independent verification other than repeating the hearsay of an anonymous “person familiar” — not even a direct source.
How has this story been verified? If it was verified, how were they “forced”? Under what circumstances, specifically?
According to you then, you either believe in Musk way more than in Washington Post, or you must think that reasoning of Musk is also such a fabrication. Neither seems to me a well reasoned position with the current information available.
The article makes clear more details are not given for safety reasons, which is appropriate given harassment has occurred.
You can dismiss mainstream press if you like, but the point is it’s not a HN commenter being hysterical or equivalent to subreddit speculation: this is reported news.
