I wonder if they didn't get the outcomes that they were hoping for hence why it is only been shown on YouTube and iPlayer that being said it can't be great with the fact that BBC3 aren't showing it.
It's only online like I player and YouTube
She’s been name dropping tattle for years on her podcast saying how horrible ANYONE with an account here is, as if she hasn’t publicly been very rude about folk on her podcast/tiktok before
When they're rude about someone it's a podcast. When someone on the internet is rude about an influencer they're a horrible troll.She’s been name dropping tattle for years on her podcast saying how horrible ANYONE with an account here is, as if she hasn’t publicly been very rude about folk on her podcast/tiktok before
I’ll be interested to see if they have any footage of SB. Based on the trailer, if he wasn’t wherever they were staking out, then who were they calling on? And why is this in the documentary?
Surely the BBC isn't rebranding doorstep harassment as investigative journalism?

I bet the BBC documentary will not mention the TL moderator that was doxxed and had appalling messages sent to them.
For me doorstep harassment is definitely defined as stalking as it is causing alarm, distress or fear to the people involved.
Is that GK Barry? I'd heard the name before but thought they were in a boy bandTattle BBC doc looks stalky - filming SB's front door and car. Can you imagine if anyone on tattle did that? They all claim it happens but none of them have any proof it does.
GK Barry explores controversial online forum Tattle Life in new documentary GK Barry: Toxic Gossip
GK goes inside one of the UK’s most notorious gossip sites to ask where online chatter ends and real-world harm begins.www.bbc.co.uk
I wonder if they've had the courtesy to send a Right to Reply?
The trouble is I bet even if they do send a right to reply they truncate it and go ahead with the narrative they've already planned.
I've noticed right to replies (not just re Tattle) are usually read in a bored dismissive voice - 'we asked Tattle for a response {sigh} and they said xyx {sigh} and said they declined to appear {sigh}'.
How could she possibly know for sure that the person with this book in their hand isn’t in fact experiencing delusions? Does nobody know how detrimental to a person’s wellbeing and recovery it is to validate those thoughts? And to discourage them from engaging with their therapist?
Why is it only here that sees how problematic this is? Sod a GK Barry Tattle documentary, I want to see Jess dissected on Panorama.
I just know that Jack Monroe is going to be interviewed on this in silhouette and using an actors voice, like an IRA informant being interviewed by the BBC
Even bleeper timing for this documentary given the amount of chickens coming home to roost for certain subjects of multiple tattle threads (Ashley Cain, Simon Harris, Stephen Bear, the artist formerly known as Jack Monroe...)
I said something similar about the documentary* Brian Dowling is supposedly filming for Virgin Media in Ireland. He was inviting tattlers to contact him. Back to camera and distorted voice of a pretend tattler repenting for having an opinion on what these people post on their social media.
*It's coming out in late Spring apparently
A few months ago I met up with a Tattler I know in real life (since long before Tattle even existed so it's not a Dr. Jess Tattle Zoom murder plot) and they told me they contacted the production company. They sent one email, got a reply, replied to that, then heard nothing. At all. That was back in February. They showed me the emails. They used a burner account and didn't reveal their username (and I'm not going to either). I don't know why there was no further replies. Maybe because their emails weren't rabid, unhinged diatribes against influencer culture so didn't back up the documentary agenda? 
So at least one Tattler did reach out but was ignored.

I don’t get why GK Barry is the face of this doc when she her thread is a non-entity and those are the two worst comments they could find? We’re supposed to believe GK Barry has never said anything like that in her life? Pull the other one.
That documentary is such a wasted opportunity. There’s an interesting story to be told here about the risks and trade-offs of being a public figure (especially one who shares their personal life extensively online) and what right other people have to discuss / critique you. Creators make all kinds of claims about what tattle does, but if you take away everything that’s not backed by evidence you’re left with the facts that tattlers are: 1) good at piecing together publicly-available info to figure out things and 2) a bit witchy. Neither of which is yet illegal or even, I would say, particularly morally bad. Besides, some of the posts on here are genuinely insightful and important critiques of questionable things that creators are doing or saying. The gutter press, despite writing condescending morally grandstanding snot pieces about how this site signals the moral decay of society at large, is actually all over it stealing the threads for content (something taken from the Zoe / Alfie thread is all over the tabloids today). The actual problem is that gossip has moved from being between friends irl into these online public forums that creators can access, and they can’t help reading their own threads and getting angry or upset about the things that are said. And we need to have a much more grown up discussion about how the actual problem is people monetising their personal lives and not having the emotional fortitude to stay away from reading comments about themselves. If you share something about yourself online to make money that’s your choice and there are consequences. You can’t just silence all discussion of your actions, that’s not how society works.
Another sensible, balanced, grown-up post. I enjoy a snipe at someone giving the finger and wearing an ill-fitting jumpsuit on their wedding day as much as the next person, but I wouldn't even have an opinion if she hadn't posted it in the first place.
Here's JT, 'a mother who lives in Manchester' and 'a best-selling author and successful psychologist' (!) selling her story to the Mirror: https://archive.is/XQTWA
She's suggesting that Jennifers showed her 'pictures of [her] kids'. The only photos of her kids that Tattlers would ever have access to are photos that she has posted herself. And I've only ever seen those posted with faces blanked. Something she (and all the other influencers) should have taken the time to consider, before putting her children online forever without their consent.
The attempted tracking of SB is disgusting. He's a private person running a legal business. He doesn't court fame. I wonder if he can sue them?
This was an excellent post on a different forum in answer to the spurious claim that this documentary will try to look 'at both sides'.
