    I would add a footnote "Release the transcripts"

    @dfhwze ah sorry, I meant "user actions". What the company should do can directly be retrieved from my nickname.

    I thought that messages on profile pages could only be edited every 30 days?

    @Mari-LouA that only applies to the avatar picture. Beyond that, there is one problem with "strike". The idea is that we create attention. And that means to be present, like: answering questions, commenting,... A profile of a user doing nothing won't attract many curious readers. Thus I am hesitant about striking.

    @dfhwze The transcripts contain private information and multiple of the people involved have said they do not consent to the release of the transcripts. Releasing the transcripts would be a serious infringement of privacy. Stack Exchange will not do it, they should not do it, and we should not ask them to do it.

    @TannerSwett Private information or any information that could link a statement to an individual should be redacted.

    It is obvious that the only way to get the company's attention is to twitter. They've gone all in on twitter-driven development, so that's the way to go. Posting on meta is pointless, they just ignore that or censor it.

    I just put the link to the image, and a link to the summation of what happened and let people who are curious about the image draw their own conclusions about what they should do about it. I am trying to disengage myself from SE, not get tied more tightly to it, so I'm probably a bad example.

    If someone could make a better avatar that would be great, I added but it's not really legible

    Maybe link to meta.stackexchange.com/q/336526/162102? That summarizes SE's offenses and the requested remediation.

    If I was an activist....I would start a petition (using a third party service) to send to the CEO

    @LаngLаngС of course my posts reflect my perspective. I don't know of an up-to-date, neutral summary. I've written several blog posts (which SE can't take down), which are linked from my post on Mi Yodeya meta. That and the big "roundup" posts here on MSE are probably the best entry points from my perspective.

    @aparente001 I've been assuming that any edits from me would be automatically deemed as biased no matter what I write, so I've been sitting it out other than making some suggestions early on. I'll review it and consider linking from my blog.

    @dfhwze That would be redacting most of it, by which point there's little point releasing the transcripts.

    @wizzwizz4 I get that and would normally not be in favour of releasing confidential information. But when so much has already been said in public, sometimes transparency should prevail. On the other hand, this whole ordeal should have never been handled in public to begin with.
