You’ve allowed white supremacists to earn money, indoctrinate, radicalize and organize globally in an unprecedented way while you profited. Go fuck yourselves.

“a CoreLogic employee said independently verifying reports like these before sending them out ‘would be an overwhelming task’.” @lkirchner and @MattGoldstein26 reveal how dangerous bad database joins can be.
New: A review by The Markup and @nytimes of hundreds of federal lawsuits shows automated tenant screening reports wrongly label renters as criminals or sex offenders based on other people’s records. Some people said the faulty reports left them homeless. themarkup.org/locked-out/202…

Wow this is wild - Yelp is replacing restaurant phone numbers with Grubhub-routed numbers that go to the restaurant, but charge the restaurants a fee for “marketing” for each order made.

So @Yelp created @GoFundMe fundraisers for local businesses without permission, with no notice or opt-in, and removing it requires sending them scanned IDs and EINs. How is that even legal? The intention is good, but the execution is horrible. Thread: xitter.cf/andymcmillan/status/12…

Amazon paid $0 in taxes on $11 billion in annual profits. But it asks workers to “donate” their paid leave to others who are sick.
