Internal blog post reveals Automattic's plan to enforce the WordPress trademark using 'nice and not nice lawyers' | TechCrunch
I've been extremely against Matt Mullenweg and Auttomatic ever since the Predestrogen situation.
I’m not reading all that drama about people I’ve never heard of. Got a 2 sentence summary?
Mullenweg, CEO of tumblr in addition to everything else, is harassing a trans woman for "reasons". Is publically connecting multiple of their disconnected sfw and nsfw identities by using internal tumblr data, and harrassing them across all of those identities apparently.
it seems he had banned a user for account names that were inappropriate and is being accused of being transphobic as a result.
i didn't see any evidence in the screen shots posted that shows he did anything harmful. just a lot of accusations.
That seems incredibly unconvincing on its own. It sounds like this person had a lot of alt accounts, probably was doing ban evasion, and kept posting things that violated the TOS.
Would WP engine not have a case that they failed to enforce their trademark?
