Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent
flora_explora@beehaw.org 3 months agoHaven’t heard of glassdoor before, but the article repeatedly states that the name is not shown to the employer and that reviews are still anonymous. That is not the issue though. The issue this person and the author have is that there might be data breaches or that there might be information on fishbowl that would link your account name to your real name. And they make out that this is a real possibility. They do not say in the article that your real name would be visible right now.
But by you talking about “the media” I guess you are trying to find reasons to further your already present distrust in any media that contradicts your beliefs?

Lol not sure why the somewhat gratuitous character attack there, but whatever.

Well, why would you talk about “the media” and you feeling gaslit by them? Maybe I misunderstood you?

"The media" is a common term in American English that refers to mainstream news outlets. I said I felt gaslit because the early headlines and articles on this topic suggested that names were made visible, not that they were merely added to accounts.
Regardless, there is no call for personal attacks. I'm sure you can find the maturity to respond to comments you disagree with in ways that don't involve attacking the users who post them.

Sorry, but where did I personally attack you? And maybe I misunderstood why you referred to “the media” because this gets thrown around by a lot of people like conspiracy or right wing folks.
