@easterkingston @cliffweitzman This is absolute trash and completely unacceptable. The CEO isnt doing this to help people with reading disabilities, he's doing it to make easy money off of other people's work. You can help people without screwing others over. Tons of people with disabilities write fanfic too.

and the response from the man himself, trying to make it writer’s job to opt out of having their copyright violated even though he knows he’s in the wrong:

OTW’s understandable response to word-stream’s copyright violation:

Your work is likely there, too, taken without your consent: https://t.co/BJAnohu7Kz

@cliffweitzman is using AI to scrape ao3 to put thousands of fanworks into his app/website WITHOUT THE AUTHORS’ PERMISSION so he can charge for a subscription to ‘cover server/gpu costs to power the text to speech’. 1/4

@thesecondellen @clareblackwood Don't assume this. Don't even say it. If good people decided PP won't win, they won't bother to go vote against him, and next thing you know we have our own mini Trump in charge.

@fearlesskristn @AO3_Status Right there with you, trying to convince myself it's not bad enough for me to go to fanfiction net

Even children know Trump is a loathsome piece of shit. #TrumpMeltdown

Hey @DanaherCorp the swifties are here. Lower the price of tests so that everyone can access life-saving treatment for TB. Or don't and continue to hurt your business's public reputation.
One thing about Taylor, Danaher. She don't start shit....

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Good morning, @CepheidNews and @DanaherCorp. Admin, today is going to be difficult. I'm sorry about that. It isn't about you--I'm sure you're lovely. This is about your bosses price-gouging the world's poorest countries through Cepheid's functional monopoly on tuberculosis tests. #peopleoverprofits

@ruthmkb @WestJet It's in extremely poor judgment to do on any day. But on 9/11 with a guy who can't get security clearance is not only poor judgement, it's damn well negligent.
@navcanada care to comment?

A P.A. System on a plane is for the flight crew— full stop. Not a political soap box for social media.

Are you familiar with the printer ink business model? Sell a printer for a modest profit because you'll make the real money from forcing people to buy your ink? IT's also known as the razor blade business model.
Danaher sells its diagnostic machines at a small profit and then price gouges for tests--thus denying millions access to affordable, accurate tests for tuberculosis. And then THEY BRAG ABOUT IT TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS. Just listen to @DanaherCorp CEO Rainer Blair. #PeopleOverProfits

[TANWTS @EmgrthMaceon]

@24WPC2023 Nah, I'm not interested in ruining other people's lives for my own benefit.

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Hey @DanaherCorp: You're already in the news. Great story about Danaher's price gouging and nerdfighteria's refusal to accept it. #PeopleOverProfits

The minion memes that have emerged from this are truly brilliant. Maybe Minion memes will help Danaher's elderly execs understand that price-gouging the world's poorest people is the worst.

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Why is @CepheidNews intentionally price-gouging the world's poorest people for tuberculosis tests? And what can you do about it? #PeopleOverProfits
It's all in this video: https://t.co/Xf6up5Liru

[🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 @johngreen]

Breaking news: Danaher thinks it is "sustainable" to price gouge the world's poorest countries with 500% profit margins for tuberculosis tests. #PeopleOverProfits
