It’s the first time I realise, up close and personal, all the arguments against Facebook, Twitter, etc that were previously an abstraction to me. I expected more from LinkedIn but seems I was naive. I find myself now turning down requests to connect. I hold the supine Indian press accountable for just repeating his absurd tweets and not doing a shred of research or corroboration. Perhaps the entire nation is desperate for a saviour, no matter unrealistic. It’s like watching car crash in slow motion and I can’t look away as I want to try to prevent it. I feel like all the good people here should be heard but not enough outside folks are convinced of our intentions. The ability of one guy in his flat, with a poor command of English, with what seems to be no job (how does he afford it???) and with an internet connections is shocking.
All we can do is report, report, report and report and hopefully the internet gods will listen and shut him and that Oleg goon down.

His ramblings on Twitter and LinkedIn over the last 12hrs have increased as far as I can tell. Seems he’s stuck in Thailand with his wife and daughters as the UK won’t grant them visas (at this point who knows what’s true???)
My wife jokes that when I get upset, I get all righteous and state loudly, “I’m going to write a letter!”. But I am going to write one to the ceo of LinkedIn.

Allowing Jason and Oleg to continue their false info calls into question LinkedIn’s utility. Why should any of use it if we can’t trust it? Perhaps if enough of us write a paper letter (imagine how few he must actually get in today’s internet world), he will take action.
I will also write to the ceo of Twitter but he always seems to have a lot on his plate...
