Pedro Domingos, for those who don't know, wrote "The Master Algorithm" and is a professor at the University of Washington. Recently, Anima Anandkumar (Director of AI at nvidia) tried to get him cancelled/blacklisted. I wrote more about the incident in this comment from a past HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25419871

interestingly, most of the tweets linked in your link (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25419871) are either unavailable or from an account that "does not exist anymore".

Edit: it's a very long thread of screenshots of blocked users, followed by "In that case use it as a #cancel list".

I haven't used Twitter since 2011 or so, and I didn't realize how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Anima deleted her twitter. I think even she realized how over the top her behavior made her look.

Anima Anandkumar got off Twitter recently.
