@suuuoppp: To stop the speculation and DM’s I am receiving. I chose to quit my role at LTT because it, and the working environment I was facing, were ruining my mental health. The number of daily items……

“The company has currently paused all production to improve its review processes, and CEO Terren Tong tells The Verge an outside investigator will be hired to examine the harassment allegations.”
I dunno. I always believe the underdog with a lot to lose.
What does she have to lose?
Listen, I’m not at all saying she’s lying, but I do not know her and people do shit for inexplicable reasons all the time.
She is getting a lot of attention, something I’m sure many people would not enjoy, but some of that is definitely being driven to her YT channel, so the whole “nothing to gain” position isn’t really true.
Um. Being hired again? She can be completely shut out of any earnings that she needs to survive whereas Linus has a fuck you amount of money. So…
She’s going to be hired against her will? 🤔
Courts award damages and costs, LMG can afford expensive lawyers and she’s made imputations against the company that they would be able to demonstrate effected their standing and business.
You can’t just say specific and detailed shit about people and businesses, in a high profile way, getting maximum attention, and then not expect any consequences. Canada does not have the same first amendment rights as the US, and even in the US defamation is a powerful legal mechanism. She’s risking a lot.
I don’t know about Canada but that’s a very high bar here (as it should be). They would have to be able to prove not only that the things she said are false, but that she knew they were false.
