Julian Chandra, the founder of independent video hosting platform Odysee, clapped back at a corporate journalist from left-leaning tech website CNET after receiving an email that appeared to accuse Odysee of “being a platform filled with conspiracy theory and misinformation videos.”
“I received an annoying email from a CNET journalist recently looking for a quote from us on what Odysee’s stance is toward ‘misinformation,’” Chandra wrote in a blog post. “What was most annoying however; the way they absurdly said that we’re a ‘go-to’ platform specifically for misinformation and conspiracy content.”
The New Tech entrepreneur continued, “I know this is just a case of another dumbass journalist from the legacy media looking to write another ill-informed hitpiece about how new tech is morally corrupt without any modicum of understanding about what new tech represents, but this is so disparaging – the way these guys try to mischaracterize what we’re building. I wish many legacy media outlets would just die already.”
