I read it once years ago, and while I have trouble remembering specifics, the overall tone and purpose of the book really stuck with me.

We take modern investigation and forensic processes and techniques for granted. I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts and the amount of shit people could get away with 70+ years ago was insane.
Kids will never know the thrill of staying at a friend's house that has HBO, Showtime, or Cinemax and stealthily watching the late night shows.
A veteran Silicon Valley Software Executive.... aren't those a dime a dozen these days? And for every success story out of Silicon Valley aren't there dozens of failures. It would be more impressive if the person was a senior engineer.
It's secret like Area 51 is secret. We know it's there, we know the government is doing something with it, but we don't know fully what, when, why, or how.
So they removed an article for the world because of a lawsuit in one country?
Didn't Dodd-Frank get gutted a bit in recent years?
Reminds me a little of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Not exactly what OP was describing, but follows bucks the traditional magic girl trope.
I remember my wife crying saying she was a bad mother, and the baby hates her, and that she is so stupid to think she could do this. It was heartbreaking.
Same here. My wife's milk never came in. She had 3 different lactation nurses tell her "don't worry, it'll happen, just keep trying". Not once did anyone talk to her about the fact that it doesn't happen for some women. Not once did they provide support for the increasing likelihood that it wouldn't happen. It was just "keep trying, the milk will come".
I don't discount the benefits of breastfeeding, but I think our medical community needs to take a step back a little and think about this article and the other side effects of all that pressure they're putting on mothers.
Women receive an immense amount of pressure to nurse their newborns to the point where they are made to feel like they are failing as a mother if they don't or can't. Lactation consultants are the worst at this, many refusing to admit that sometimes it just won't happen and the mother will need to look into alternatives.
Don't discount the business around lactation and nursing. Some are most definitely taking advantage of the societal pressure to the mom's for the money. Any good dentist will be honest with the mother when a procedure is truly needed or not, but it's not always easy to tell if you're listening to a good one or not
Parents definitely have a responsibility, but don't place all the blame on them in this situation.
To take it a step further, I believe he's also aligned with various other 'actors' who wanted to see Twitter turn to dog shit due to it being a widespread tool of the people and its usefulness in coordinating large scale protests.
I think he saw an opportunity to both make a buck doing what you said and fulfilling some unknown obligation or deal he has to tank the reputation.
The money making fell through, but he's still left hanging to fulfill his obligation.
