Like people should go listen to her speaking about this project. So the plan for this project was essentially that she would create a way to de-anonymize online commentators and then connect them with like their real names and their real life employers.

And what's so funny is that like that is the very same argument that a lot of

Exactly.

Exactly.

Exactly.

Yeah, so pretty much everybody thought this was a bad idea, including video game developer Zoe Quinn, who folks might remember was kind of at the center of Gamergate and was like viciously attacked.
