It's highly likely the FBI reached out to many of these organizations to do some initial contact and provide them some information regarding the current threat outlook. The worry is always copycats.
This strikes me as an overzealous internal response by the content team who otherwise doesn't know what to do with any of this. Since they're publicly traded all of this information is required to be in SEC reports anyways.
To be fair "doing something, anything, mostly stupid" is well established american standard procedure when something happens. Something "has" to be done - so something gets done.
Catching a criminal is usually a much bigger story than not catching a criminal. And criminals that get caught are tautologically "dumb enough to get caught."
We're biased to believe that criminals are dumb because we only catch the dumb ones.
Given limited attention spans, removing prominent publicly available information (i.e. with other publicly accessible information still being available) would help reduce the chances of an incident slightly. This is the reason why all those private jet trackers of those prominent individuals were removed from both Twitter and then later Meta too, despite the information still being available publicly in aviation filings.
Not what I’m reading. People on my timeline are asking why we’re forced to pay into a feudal system in which health coverage is not guaranteed leaving them with hospital bills in the tens of thousands of dollars for minor procedures after their claim was arbitrarily denied. Others are asking how in the wealthiest nation on earth 1 million people go bankrupt from medical bills when guys like this CEO are making $56 million a year
When someone has been wronged, society allows them a temporary excursion from social norms to restore justice. This is also philosophically how the justice systems operate — they are allowed to detain, incarcerate and sometimes murder people who have harmed society. Through this act of justice, society heals.
We like to see it in film too. The hero’s family (or pet) is hurt, and they commit many crimes to bring retribution to the offender. The audience feels an elation at the end of such films, as though things have been put in their right place and there is a sense of completion.
The phenomenon is extremely common. And I’d argue it is seen here. Society has to a large part deemed this killing a justice. Vigilante justice I suppose is the term.
Not making any commentary on whether it’s right or wrong. I think it’s not my place to judge, I don’t have enough context to judge well anyways. But from society’s reaction it appears to be justice.
You don't need precision with a herd. You need to send them in a general direction to "trample" and for just a few of the more skilled-competent ones to feel emboldened and righteous in their vigilante justice - not being competent enough to understand the vast complexities and nuances of every situation.
