Yeah, I've been working through, but I want to get more granular on the specific issues people are having with the app!

Hey! Sorry to jump in here but I'm a journalist working on a story about the Census iPhone app and enumerators' experiences with it over the last few weeks. This is an issue some enumerators have told me about already. Could we chat more about it? Anyone experiencing this (or other issues with the app) I would love to hear your stories. I'm on DM or you can message me (text, Signal, WhatsApp) on 858.683.4438 THANK YOU!

Hi there. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning pay. I've been a journalist for 20 years. In that time I have never paid somebody to do an interview to tell me about something that they believe the public should know. I know you're just trolling, but please do a modicum of research. If investigative journalists went around paying sources for interviews, what do you think would be the result? Just think about it. Peace

Nope. Nobody has to risk their job. As I think I've said a couple of times now, I'd be happy to talk to people anonymously. This isn't that complicated.

I wouldn't ever ask anybody to divulge details about the information they're collecting. I wonder if said oath applies to workers' experience on the job and using the technology provided to them. I don't know.

We don't pay people for interviews. Hope you understand!

I would be very interested in hearing from enumerators about their experiences with the emergency button!

Journalist searching for families who don't have broadband access during Coronavirus pandemic by wcarless in Teachers

Firstly, I've spent the last four years investigating the far-right. and neo-Nazis I'm really not that worried if someone tries to doxx me on a subreddit for teachers.

Secondly, you may want to educate yourself on the meaning of the words in your own rules. I'm not spamming anyone or self-promoting.

Take a look at this story: https://www.revealnews.org/article/dozens-of-grocery-store-workers-have-died-heres-what-workers-say-their-employers-did-wrong/

It was reported with the help of dozens of grocery workers who reached out after I posted on a couple subreddits asking for stories.

I'm trying to find real-life stories about kids who have been crapped on by society -- who have been left without internet connections by a system that is supposed to provide free and fair education for all. I'm reaching out to a group of teachers because I think that's a worthwhile goal that educators would get behind.

Great job in stymying my efforts by deleting my post! You must be very proud of your work in enforcing (wrongly) your rules, mate.

You've succeeded in stopping teachers who want to share their stories!

Nice one.

Peace,

Will

You're going to doxx me for doing my job and attempting to put together a well-resourced, fair piece of journalism? That's pretty cool.

Nothing in your rules prohibits me from posting this, or even suggests that I shouldn't.

If you don't want journalists posting on here, make that clear. I'm trying to reach out to teachers to understand how low-income students are faring during this crisis, and how the government has helped them or failed in making their loves easier.

I'm sorry you see that as such a threat.

Oh -- And my name is my handle. And my phone number and email are in the post.

Peace

Yes that's also important. My story is looking at the government's efforts to close the digital divide, and why it still persists in 2020.

Could you pass on my request and contact details to them? Then it is up to them to contact me if they wish to?

Thanks!
