Brad Chapman of NBC Universal solicits advice to get Twitter depeered from the Internet

[Cherenkovblue]

Brad Chapman, a butthurt SysDumbs Engineer at NBC Universal Media has been busy soliciting network admins on the Outages-discussion mailing list for legal/technical advice on how to de-peer a certain autonomous system (Twitter) for "disruptive activity"...

I wonder if NBC Universal Media knows that one of its engineers is trying to get Twitter depeered, potentially opening them up to a suit for tortious interference?

Archive yo shit.

Oops. Danke.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Well I hope it goes better than Rekeita's "slam dunk" Whale Wars case.

Does this guy want to be killed?

Interesting ... I didn't know depeering a website on account of allowing free speech counted as "enhancing user experience"

Does this guy want to be killed?

No, he knows that there's nothing to be afraid of. He's part of the class of people who push everyone around without consequence.

...SysAdmins?

...SysAdmins?

We call them "jannies" 'round these parts.

At least some of the replies are based.

No no, dear reader. SysAdmins are not jannies. Jizzmopping forum moderators are "jannies". Also Helldesk workers. However, this guy strikes me as being about as much of a SysAdmin as Harvey Birdman is an attorney. I mean, if you've got as much of a background in admin as this guy claims on his LinkedIn, well, then he should have already been able to answer his own fucking question.

He calls himself a SysAdmin and then: (1) lists himself as being fluent in both "Mac" and also "UNIX"; (2) waxes poetic about how much UX matters; and (3) Spends an entire paragraph talking about how collaboration is cool. Dude is sus.

Also has absolutely no *nix certs whatsoever. No RHEL. No nothing. He's a mac fag. I'm calling it: This guy's a Helldesk flunkie.

If anyone is wondering where there was so much screeching going on when the FCC repealed its net neutrality rules few years back, and why there is so much autism around net neutrality in general, this is why.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Yes. Open this can of worms. See how it goes for you.

*ahem* ... YOU'RE WELCOME, GABTARD.

I need popcorn.

Imagine how helpless macfags would be if operating systems disappeared and we had to program in hex or assembly like the good old days.

Literally nothing on Twitter has changed yet aside from ownership and he's already freaking out

That's an interesting hypothesis from that gab post. Yeah, these retards don't know how the internet works. What they might be trying to do is suss out/float trial balloons for getting whole portions of the internet just gone. Or at least forced to use links which will slow them down.

In case you people don't know how these journo/elite types communicate and coordinate, THIS is how they do it.

Interesting how this has escalated. We've gone from them getting domain names revoked and DDoS providers blacklisting sites (lol dailystormer) in around 2017, to now 5 years later they are really taking it to the tippy top and trying to get whole AS's nuked. If I was a board member of ARIN I'd be lawyering up and making sure no-one can plant a car bomb on me.

I've been skeptical of this twitter thing because I've just been assuming this is an excuse by Elon to implement some kind of digital ID and be able to tie that to people posting naughty things. Just a big fuckin honeypot that rightwingers seem to adore falling for. But if they actually go through with breaking the internet on a fundamental level like this, it might be time to re-evaluate that position.

It did - they dropped the various undocumented "features" throttling the "threats to our democracy". There are widespread reports of sudden jumps in follower counters, thousands of users saying they were suddenly unbanned for no reason, or having suddenly different content selection appearing on the dashboard etc. There was something fishy going on, now they're swiping it under the rug. That's also probably the real reason why that pajeet lawyer girl cried. They lied about it to the buyer, which is not exactly legal.
