Schiffrin describes unanswered emails and Rowland's response on Signal content
Schiffrin says she sent dozens of emails to City Hall and agencies since July without answers, unlike her experience with EU officials, and that after her paper came out Rowland texted her saying the Signal group information is the same as the regular press list, usually just links to press releases and livestreams.
I sent dozens of emails to different parts of City Hall and to city agencies since July asking for information.
When I did my PhD on disinformation, Google and Facebook didn't speak to me once in the years I was doing my research, but every single official
or government employee that I wrote to at the EU Commission or the EU Parliament met with me for at least an hour.
So I'm very used to engaging with government officials as part of my academic research.
And I was a little surprised when I didn't get an answer from anybody at all.
So after the...
Paper came out, I did get a text message from Amelia Rowland and, you know, re-sent many of the questions I've been sending since July.
So on Saturday, she sent me a text message about this particular question in which she said that the information in the signal group is not different at all from the information given to the regular press list.
Quote, it is usually just a link to a press release and link to the announcement live stream on YouTube, Roland said in a text message on September 21st.
But I'm looking forward to further clarification.
