One told to take down posts that said nice things about WP Engine
Organisers of WordCamps, community-organized events for WordPress users, have been ordered to take down some social media posts and share their login credentials for social networks.
We'd link to the Xeet in which WordCamp Sydney made that observation, but another Automattic employee wrote to the event's organizers with a request to take it down – on grounds that it did not"align with the Community Team's view." The Community Team includes Automattic staffers who help with WordCamps.
Peterson described the letters as"just the latest attempt by Mullenweg to control anything said about WordPress or himself across the internet."
