It was literally the District 5 Supervisor Dean Preston’s “youth coordinator” aid who astroturfed this with some DSA people, to distract from his handling of the Tenderloin.

He got caught bragging on Twitter and then deleted the tweets. You can still find the commentary around it if you search.

This is part of a long tradition of lying for political benefit, not tactical anything.

Lol no that kid is not some mastermind behind this, though we appreciate his coning contribution, as well as his work on the Youth Commission (which is just an unpaid advisory board of young people).

You’re 100% the same guy under a brand new burner account.

This isn’t a movement, and you’re not an activist. Your actions will have knock on effects that harm millions, especially the disabled and elderly.

Keep at it, chucklehead. Soon they’ll start requesting CFAA prosecutions. FBI are much less forgiving than SF’s absentee PD.

Damn you really just made up a narrative in your head and now you believe it? Lmao

Harm millions especially disabled and elderly? Cruise and Waymo give zero accessible rides. But what we do have, which already exists, are buses (which all have accessible ramps) and dial-a-ride paratransit. But sorry techies there's no profit motive there.

CFFA? FBI? Okay now you're just being funny :D

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act makes interference with a computer system a felony punishable by five years in Federal prison.

That’s what intentionally and maliciously blinding a self-driving car is.

That’s not something affected by local politics. FBI investigates CFAA offenses and SF office of DOJ prosecutes the charges. There is zero doubt the companies involved kicked off that process when the attacks occurred.

This is not speculation. Have fun.

Also imagine the lack of vision in not understanding that automating transport is a prerequisite to massively expanding accessibility.

You have zero ability to think in terms of growth. Short term zero sum mindset is what kills cities.
