I've noticed a gap in my previous Link Index thread and in our general conscious where it's very difficult to collate and cite sources that X is or at least does bad. This is a very big problem for tech as an industry which―depending on your perspective ranges from mildly malignant to socially cancerous―yet is seen by much of the population as not only doing no wrong, but being fundamentally incapable of doing so. I know I'm not the only one who's tried to say "actually, google is kind of evil" and at the critical moment not had a source to drawn on.
Let's fix that. Post a company, a software, a government, a protocol, whatever as long as it's Internet & Technology plus a link to and ideally local archive of something bad they did and I'll add it to the OP. Sources don't have to be actual news articles but should be true and convincing to the uniformed observer with a minimum of editorializing or partisanship. Original research endorsed. Together we can keep their crimes from being memoryholed.

P.S. Can anyone post a source that shows how either Discord and/or Reddit are owned by China and run by paedophiles?
