Someone in my family has worked for several of the big tech companies and reports that there are TIMs all over the place in these companies and they’re coddled.

What is a TIM? (Kinda afraid to even ask.)

It's appalling that Aimee is handed such influence. Hiding in plain sight. Part of me thinks Reddit can't know about this, or they wouldn't tolerate it.

Then you see what they do (deleting gender critical subs) and what they allow to stay and I think... yeah, they do know and they don't give a shit.

Or - and this is worse - they are doing this deliberately and with full knowledge of the consequences.

I know there must be more tweets archived, but here is a link to some at least, before Aimee deleted it.

Old name was @AimeeChallenor, new one was @TheAimeeKnight

https://archive.is/https://twitter.com/AimeeChallenor*

Reddit suspending people for even MENTIONING Aimee's name has made this story blow up.

Excellent.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good article that goes in to the complete history of the whole Aimee Challenor thing? I’ve got the basics, but would like to read more.

Can't find the direct YouTube link but there's no a video on this page about the background of David and Aimee Challenor. It's very conceivable that it's been reported by Aimee.

Do you live in Coventry?

No, Norwich, & haven't been to Cov in 12-15 years. It's very much unsettling me cos I feel sure we've met & I don't know where. He didn't ever have anything to do with the police (and not as a person of interest), did he?
