Why is this being downvoted? It's true and has been explained by Emma Best herself https://archive.is/0VsQR

The parent says
> Zeynep isn’t concerned with accuracy either
But your link says
> Zeynep Tufekci never lied, exaggerated or retracted her article (which was accurate).
So I don't see how one explains the other.

Emma Best isn’t being very clear here. In her tweet she very clearly disagrees with Zeynep Tufekcis claims, but for whatever reason the blog is more forgiving.
In any case it’s quite clear that Zeynep wasn’t correct when she claimed that WL dumped this data. WL only tweeted a link to the dump shared by Emma Best, who now operates a “competitor” to WL, DDoSecrets.
I’m not trying to suggest that WL has an amazing track record. I just think that if Zeynep wanted to do the right thing she’d have retracted her claim that WL dumped this data.
