Silicon Valley Elite Discuss Journalists Having Too Much Power in Private App
This article is missing some of the critical context that lead to this from Twitter.<p>Summarized here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-is-the-July-2020-Twitter-spat-between-Taylor-Lorenz-and-Balaji-S-Srinivasan-really-about" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-is-the-July-2020-Twitter-spat-bet...</a><p>I think Taylor comes across extremely negatively here and the spin in this Vice article just makes it worse.<p>Basically Taylor puts up a mean tweet about the Away CEO’s comments on the media (without actually engaging in the content of those comments).<p>Balaji responds to the tweet with the same wording Taylor used, but directed at Taylor herself (to point out the meanness).<p>Taylor tweets a cropped response image of only Balaji’s response and plays victim, rallying media people behind her (things escalate) - eventually they surreptitiously record this clubhouse conversation and write a hit piece without taking any responsibility for anything.<p>It’s all very high school and the journalists come across extremely negatively to me. If anything this proves Balaji’s point.<p>I should spend less time on Twitter.
