Maybe something that could easily be interpreted as social mockery and making fun of people = crossing the line.

It's not a fair treatment for someone who has made an enormous contribution for startups and is already paying a big price for past mistakes. It can also harm/dilute the cause women are rightfully fighting for.

A victim of sexual harassment points out the irony of Twitter recommending someone who sexually assaulted a woman?

That isn't mockery or making fun of people. It's just pointing out the irony that sometimes happens when an algorithm recommends social connections.

Besides, I think Dave will survive.

> It's not a fair treatment

Sure it is. She didn't even accuse him of anything.

> who has made an enormous contribution for startups

Who cares? He did it to become rich and, perhaps, famous. He's not an altruist or a saint. You don't get a pass for attacking people just because you are successful at your job and your job affects a lot of people.

I'd actually argue Susan Fowler has done more for the startup community (and more to make people's lives better) than Dave has.

> It can also harm/dilute the cause women are rightfully fighting for.

How so? I find this claim to be preposterous.
