It looks like someone at Activision is leaking Slack screenshots to right-wing X users

gross
Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there's no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they've created.
Um... The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with activists.
Sounds like a "I liked Star Trek before it was woke" take.

Capitalists. The word you're looking for is capitalists.
Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.
By what metric? Business is booming.
before it was filled with activists.
and exactly when was this? lol
when did all the activists take over. Pong?
Colecovision?
There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.
Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.
Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.
Not good ennough. Doxxing should carry criminal charges.
I’m surprised that people feel safe to discuss those things in a Slack of a company that creates American Imperialistic propaganda. It’s a certainty that crypto-fascists are among them, no matter how progressive the companies policies are. The stuff they make attracts right wingers.
ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together
To be fair, Sweet Baby Inc. censoring shit is a real problem, whereas the "first gamergate" was mad about Baldur's Gate having transpeople in it when according to the "real gamers"
The game takes place in the Middle Ages and they didn't have transpeople back then!
Problem
As depressing as it is to ask, I feel I should kick off the brainstorm: Given that this personal information has been doxxed, is there anything that individuals could do to help the affected developers in any way?
Send them a check? Money always helps.
Something something hilter youth
So customers are now informed? And this is a bad thing?
"This employee took screenshots of ABK wide discussions about the safety of our protected information (like name changes and visa statuses) and sent them to an an extremely racist, sexist, and transphobic individual on Twitter who has over a 100 thousand followers," they added.
Fuck off; this is doxxing and mass harassment. If you want social change go ahead but do it peacefully.
^ This right here, what happened to their rallying call "Go Woke, Go Broke" ? I guess it's not working, so they're going to harass people instead.
No one will stop them from not buying something. But forcing people out of jobs via threats is another level of fucked up.
Seems to me like names were censored in the released slack screenshots (except the CEO). Were there uncensored screenshots that I missed or that were deleted?
Informed of what? The next target of right wing shitheads on youtube and twitter? Use your brain.
Edit: see you're a right winger yourself. So using your brain will be difficult. Asshole.
Give us your name and address so we can be informed. That’s not a bad thing, we’ll be better informed.

Stupid take
I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.
These companies can barely make the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this
Even so, they're going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings
I see you don't use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It's madness.
If this person is like every other online chud they'll find him before they finish cross referencing chat attendees.
Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.
It's really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose
The techniques you're thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn't work for screenshots of Slack.
Well you could make it work, for example some random pattern in chat backgrounds that trace back to whoever is the user. That would still show up in a screenshot.
