Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to “release findings” seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened.
Who woulda thunk?.
On the quality issues they still manage to fuck up even with all the “new processes” Won’t surprise me if sooner rather than later they just go back to the regular shitshow.
It’s been a month. Any investigation that could be completed in that time would be extremely rushed. A proper external investigation could take a year or more.
The issue in the https video is fairly minor and they are working to fix it.
Complete radio silence isn’t helping their case, specially when all they’ve done to address it is in a few sentences.
Complete radio silence is the only option. Any public statement would harm the integrity of the investigation and the findings. When companies are going through legal processes the worst thing they can do is make large, public statements.
The article you posted is from Aug 17th, and promises to release a “more complete statement”, not any particular “findings” you might be expecting
That came in the form of another video Aug 26th, where they go into the changes in production processes, including changes to fact checking procedures.
Crucially they acknowledge that it wouldn’t be realistic for them to simply not make any mistakes moving forward, but they detailed some procedures to mitigate the chance of it including collecting community feedback from interested subject matter experts in advance of publication. Sounded pretty reasonable to me, and the case you mentioned where they subsequently got something wrong doesn’t really seem like a significant error, or one they haven’t adequately addressed/corrected.
I’m not sure what else you expected? In a scenario where they have addressed the concerns to your satisfaction, what would they have done differently?
