●● ‘Linux Jobs in the UK’ Mailing List Censors Message Cautioning About Fraud in Company That Advertises Job (Sirius ‘Open Source’)

Posted in Deception, Fraud, Free/Libre Software at 10:59 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Did Sirius pressure the administrator to start censoring (gagging) its victims?

Summary: Victims of fraud committed by Sirius ‘Open Source’ speak out in response to a job ad (workers are fleeing in droves, creating severe vacuum) and the administrator of the list resorts to censorship

Almost 24 hours have passed and the following message was not approved by the moderator, so I’m reproducing it here:

Hi Dave,

These tactics aren’t new. Only a week after I had resigned I received a threatening and legally-invalid letter from the CEO telling me to remove any criticism of the company (published after I already resigned).http://techrights.org/wiki/Sirius_Open_Source#Attempts_to_Censor_Facts Last month the above-mentioned CEO abruptly left the company and in recent weeks he worked hard to hide all traces of him ever working for Sirius:http://techrights.org/2023/03/13/sirius-deleted-entirely/http://techrights.org/2023/03/21/sirius-open-source-purged/ Today: http://techrights.org/2023/04/12/sirius-no-more/ It is imperative that people understand what Sirius really is to prevent this mailing list being leveraged to groom future victims.
