## Resource

This is the frankly unbelievable story of how far eBay employees went in 2019 to deal with both a small company and a Twitter user being critical of their CEO and company. Harassment, intimidation, doxing, cockroaches and a dead pig... welcome to the eBay stalking scandal, featuring special guest Kirsty Webeck! This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 10:14 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
