Medlin finally deleted his Twitter account and dubiously take on Facebook he had been hacked “ by ( we consider ) a dissatisfied past emoloyee [ sic ] or coworker , ” Mashable wrote , as well as “ revamp ” his Instagram :
Since the thread went viral , Tee Medlin has deleted his Twitter account and appear to have revamped his Instagram account as well . Before doing so , he tweeted that his account was hacked and claimed that someone else was accuse Condon of stalk them .
On Facebook , he posted about a “ disgruntle preceding employee or coworker ” hacking his invoice and complained about getting cyberbullied . ( To be exculpated , whatever this guy did , bullying of any kind is bad . Do n’t add together to the legal injury done here . The authorities are handling things now . )
As Condon publish in the Medium berth , “ I in no way want to destroy this guy rope ’s life , ” but the incident demonstrated “ that sometimes being a adult female on the internet can be a full - time job . ” With her job as a developer advocate want her to be actively engaged in depicted object creation , typeface - to - expression meetings , and societal media , Condon added , she faced all kind of online molestation on a regular basis :
… Cyber intimidation and on-line harassment are so common these twenty-four hour period that at a certain full point I stopped react to the amount of inward variations of “ hey ur hott”s I get any given calendar week .
In a discussion via Twitter DM , Condon told Gizmodo that she had “ filed a report ” with the San Francisco Police Department on Sunday over condom headache and for documentation design , “ but as is the case with most police news report in SF — it was met with “ well , you’re able to register a report but it wo n’t do much good . ” Condon also say she was looking into the theory of a restraining order .
“ … Imagine trying to excuse to a very nice [ female ] police force officer how a screwball dude online post a picture of you / Seth Rogen was involved / the last 5 years of his life were untrue , ” Condon told Gizmodo . “ It was pretty bonkers . ”
“ It just seems freaky that in 2019 we do n’t have any process in place for something as common as cyber bullying . I ’m fortunate that I can give sound representation , but when I was an agency manager / actress 4 long time ago I could n’t give it . ”
“ It would have been dainty , at the very least , to be channelise towards some resource , ” Condon told Gizmodo . “ Instead , Twitter and my acquaintance ( who are woman and have deal with online harassment ) kick in me advice … I empathise that not everyone is on social media as much as me , or comfortable posting about what materialise to them online / in their DMs / etc , but I feel it ’s my responsibility to shed luminosity on it . ”
“ Women online ( specially in tech ) deal with torment every daylight , and it train a toll , ” she concluded . “ My hope in posting about my own frustration is that others find comfort in recognize it ’s not just them- that it ’s a universal problem that needs to stop . ”
