That's a really long email.
LinkedIn just deleted her profile, I was following her yesterday: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibtihalaboussad
You're sure she didn't delete it herself due to the attention she was probably getting?
Of course their not sure. This is an internet forum. The account being gone must mean it was deleted. Honestly, she was probably getting so much bat shit crazy messages, she deleted it herself. That makes the most sense.
Could be she set it to private. It's what I did when I left my last gig.
It’s crazy how democracy is now implicitly democracy incorporated(TM) where individuals are silenced for expressing opinions about corporations. Vital institutions for a functioning democracy like media is now owned by big corporations, worse yet, in an increasingly monopolized way, blurring the lines between unelected corporations and elected government (who are also bought by corporations after or before they are elected)
Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
Goes to prove that LinkedIn is just exactly like every other social media platform despite what many people seem to believe.
Also, Microsoft owns LinkedIn so that might have something to do with it.
LinkedIn as in the website owned by Microsoft? You don't say!
And Microsoft will now just make sure she vant find a job anywhere? You don't say
Makes sense its owned by MS
Probably the mass reporting coupled with the usual rape and death threats from the deranged zionists.
Ballsy move. I hope she's okay.
What a hero! I hope she is alright.
She doubled down on video, showing no fear of consequences.
Hero is unquestionably the right word.
This is such a bold move. Takes courage to speak up from the inside, especially at an event like that. Whether people agree or not, the conversation about the ethics of AI and its real-world consequences needs to happen.
She is SO BRAVE. Wow. I wish I had half that strength.
