your friend Helen @hels Someone told you to be mad about Sarah so you are being mad about Sarah because you have been groomed to direct your rage at targets that embody an artificial threat, and you have been groomed to feel that the artificial threat is focused on you

Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt How to reduce the internet mob problem: Step 1: @nytimes does NOT fire @sarahjeong Step 2: We all agree that, from now on, no organization shall fire anyone if a mob is demanding the firing, especially if it's because of... tweets. Social media messes with our moral matrice.

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp A lot of people on the internet today confusing the expressive way anti-racists and minorities talk about "white people" with actual race-based hatred, for some unfathomable reason

Trevor Timm @trevortimm Man, this @sarahjeong "controversy" is ridiculous. What has made her such an authentic writer over the years is the funny, smart, and original way she has used twitter. To use her clearly tongue-in-cheek tweets to now stifle her voice is so depressing

nilay patel @reckless We are proud of the work that @sarahjeong has done at The Verge, which reflects her brilliance and empathy for everyone around her. All of us stand by Sarah; digging for old, out-of-context tweets in bad faith to drum up outrage is bad for the news and society at large

Sarah Jeong's statement

Follow Replying to Osarahjeong @sarahjeong if I saw you. I would sock you right in your lesbian face. 8-39 AM -30 Oct 2014 FollowY Replying to esarahjeang @sarahjeong Shut the f--- up you dog eating g--- 3:16 PM-17 Sep 2014 I engaged in what I thought of at the time as counter-trolling. While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers. These comments were not aimed at a general audience, because general audiences do not engage in harassment campaigns. I can understand how hurtful these posts are out of context, and would not do it again.

Edward Snowden's tweet

Edward Snowden @Snowden Almost nobody among those trolling @NYTopinion's new hires seem to have actually read their writing, beyond sarcastic tweets. @Sarahjeong's articles aren't just insightful, they're often important.

@NYTimesPR Statement

Statement from The New York Times We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications. Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now that this approach only served to feed the vitriol that we too often see on social media. She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it. We had candid conversations with Sarah as part of our thorough vetting process, which included a review of her social media history. She understands that this type of rhetoric is not acceptable at The Times and we are confident that she will be an important voice for the editorial board moving forward.
