Tattle In The Press

so this article actually references that guy who implicated that charity ceo, but it's still tattle that's the most "hate-filled" place on the internet?
Exactly - the people who come out badly in this piece are the ones who are attempting to dox tattlers. It's such a weirdly confusing article!

That article is so weird. Also I don't think 'Helen makes money too so that's dishonest' is the take they think it is...hello, we can literally see the ads everywhere and they are obviously ads? That's the difference, they're not being hidden like the ones influencers do :rolleyes:

I don't understand how the murder of Sir David Amess keeps getting conflated with Tattle, his dreadful death had nothing to do with anonymity on-line?

I often wonder how sheltered a life one must have led if you think Tattle is the most hate filled place on the internet and akin to dipping your foot into a bath of acid. They must be the children of parents who never told them off or let them watch X Factor. Bizarre. And again, it makes me laugh that they’re publicising their article on Twitter, which is a cesspit of hate, misogyny and pornography.

Good grief 😂
What a load of hysterical twaddle.
'Justice may come via the law'. For what? Please sensibly point out where Tattle breaks the law? 'Boohoo people say mean things' really does not count.
And as for Helen being the Banksy of the Internet - A shady almost criminal millionaire mastermind with a toyboy 😂

it's like they were desperate to make this a big expose of the evil forces behind tattle or something. they realised they couldn't use that angle after the disastrous "revelation" (which remained on twitter for several days after being proven false) and so fell back on the good old journalistic practices of quotes from people who don't even have their own threads, outright lies, and such shocking revelations as "someone called katie price an ugly witch on the internet!!!! it must be closed now!!!!!!"


get it shared among the blue tick crowd, attract some mild outrage, job done for another day

I think as well a lot of the bile in these articles is that Helen will not engage with them. Downright misogyny tbh. I'm amazed they haven't suggested Helen is a man yet.
They say more and more ridiculous things hoping to draw her out I'm sure. How dare she refuse to talk to The Guardian.
And the terminology eg Helen 'crowed' in her response here - well I read the post and there was no 'crowing', just a factual account of the issue and how it was dealt with.

(And as for the 10% of posts accusing people of bad parenting - as @Veronicaaa pointed out it is amazing it is that low. A casual glance at the Inghams or Saccone Jolie's, family YTers, who make their entire incredibly profitable living from exposing their small children, is horrifying. The Guardian should maybe investigate that phenomenon instead).

These are the videos mentioned by the article. So many influencers were egging on a silly man with a very low IQ to do exactly what they complain tattle does.

Omg. What an idiot. Does he think he's some sort of cutting journalist? Frost? Vine? Paxman?

If there really are people who think Tattle is THE most "hate-filled place on the internet" i dread to think how they would cope reading even a handful of posts on 4chan, lolcow, Kiwi Farms, or the nastier corners of reddit and Telegram etc etc

sure, i've seen stuff on here that is needlessly bitchy and there are definitely threads where some posters are unhealthily obsessed with the subject, but there are TONNES of sites out there that make Tattle look like child's play.

Definitely agree it's a muddled article that fails at whatever it's objective is. Probably been in the works for several weeks to try and be made into something cohesive.

Tattle is far more strict than twitter or Facebook/Instagram so those will need to be shut down first. There are actually sinister websites out there, but tattle isn't it.

The article is probably a mess because they had to lie, mislead and deceive to try and discredit here. So many easily provable lies, but give the guardian £5 a month to help them keep making their world class unbiased journalism 😆

"Millions rely on the Guardian for high-impact, independent journalism that stands for truth and integrity."

🙄


Why is it ok for the guardian to talk about influencers negatively but members of the public doing the same are the most vile disgusting people that need to be silenced?

That article was a hot mess! You can tell there wasn't actually anything bad, or they would have quoted it! Some random lady saying she was worried people might have reported her to child services, with there being no proof that happened, and brands being put off by complaints about influencers they'd worked with... you would be mad to think that's anywhere near as bad as Twitter! There are incredibly sinister dark corners of the internet, but I've seen way worse on reddit threads and no one is calling for that to be shut down 🤔

I think it will just drive people here tbh, they'll realise it's actually valid criticisms with strict rules, and also that it has to be sought out by influencers rather than posted under their Instagram pages. Nice try Guardian, but that article makes no sense whatsoever

Skimmed the article. So aside from conflating the evils Tattle with what happened to that MP and a wrongfooted doxxing attempt, they basically cherrypicked some unfair criticism of influencers (always the calls to social services, can anyone point to a case of that actually happening) and ignored the swathes of legitimate critique of influencing practice on here: monetizing children, fraud, undeclared adverts, exploitation and dishonesty. Maybe if the Guardian took more of a critical look at social media influencers and bloggers, there'd be less of a need for tattle.

And yeah, there's still some nasty misogyny on Reddit. I have an account because plenty of its subreddits are innocuous and cover topics I'm interested in, but you don't have to look that hard. God knows about Kiwi farms and 4chan. But hey, those forums are male dominated and boys will be boys, eh
