When you talk to real tech workers instead of billionaire CEOs, they hold one common opinion about AI. 👇 We need to make it easier - and normal - for people who work in tech to be able to share their takes. A working climate that chills free speech at the peril of job loss doesn't serve anyone.

Ummmm…this can’t be good. Keeping public pressure on these companies has quite literally become an existential imperative.

R Petras @rpetras.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Brutal fact is that holding big tech/big AI to account really threatens the pocket book. We need to fix that - collective action within the industry can keep people safe and financially sound. Thank you @katekenny.bsky.social for making sense of it all.

Wrong. Accountability fosters trust. W/o trust, the military is a danger to national security. "Oversight agencies...created a network of whistle-blowers & watchdogs that undermines the authority of commanders. Commanders who are too accountable become risk-averse." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

New Meta whistleblower says WhatsApp was shockingly unprotected: just 6 security engineers, 100,000 account hacks/day, exposed metadata. Businesses, journalists, activists, families rely on it daily. We helped protect this worker as he brought his story to the NYT: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/t...

If only Meta committed to the security they claim, we wouldn't need a whistleblower to tell the truth. Time & time again, the only way the public knows what's going on is through a whistleblower. @psst-org.bsky.social helped bring this story to the public while protecting Baig.
