Hasan once again resetting the clock on doing per-se defamation. This one is egregious as its multiple things rolled up into one.
First thing is this notion of a company that I started in 2009 (that's over a DECADE BEFORE Hasan went to a Diddy party, mind you! and years before he said he wanted to have sex with Diddys sex abuse victims!) was investigated by the FBI. This is a total lie, flat out- NO INVESTIGATION EVER HAPPENED. He is trying to conflate criminals using a website to mean the company itself is complicit, which is insane.
But even if that is his point, Twitch has an epidemic of that magnitudes beyond anything we saw. You can actually check the stats from NCMEC on this- thousands of reports from twitch itself to the missing/exploited children reporting line for child exploitation taking place on Twitch, Hasan Pikers home. I am pretty sure Twitch has more instances of this in 1 week than Tinychat had for its entire existence.
Regardless, I sold this business in 2014 (thats 6 years before Hasan's diddy party for those keeping track!)
Second is the wild comments about the Redact app:
In the clip, an anoymous member of a Twitch Slack group felt uncomfortable with the antisemitism that was taking place and took screenshots they sent to me unsolicited. I then manually redacted/censored the peoples names and posted them showing the insanity of what was going on in there. After the slack group was aware their messages were public, they started deleting/hiding content. Hence the comment "if you are going to deny this or edit shit, I will just unredact it"
None of this has anything to do with the redact app at all- Hasan just heard the word "redact" and wanted to make it related, so he plays dumb like he doesnt know the word means "to censor"
Redact is a desktop app that runs on your PC. The idea that deleted messages are magically being sent to a secret server is insane and would be flat out illegal.
I am not going to jail for your communist memes.
All the proof you need this isnt happening is the fact that hordes of Hasan fans have over the years constantly looked into the app desperate to prove some secret data export is happening and always come out with nothing. Because its not. You can even completely turn off all crash reporting if you want to.

@GregSalazarYT The 6750xt has been serving me well. Not sure what percentage of increase one of these would provide, throwing my hat in!
Appreciate the opportunity
This is Christopher Hitchens’s last interview. An abridged transcript was published in New Statesman at the time, but I thought I’d lost the original recording. To my delight, I rediscovered it on an old hard disc. I publish it in full, as a historic document (links in my blog).
