A private ‘whisper network’ in Silicon Valley is reportedly being used by women to share warnings about men they allege have engaged in sexual misconduct, including sexual assault and rape. At the centre of the story is a private spreadsheet reportedly containing more than 100 names connected to the technology, venture capital and artificial intelligence ecosystem. Why is such a network operating privately? Some women say speaking publicly can carry professional risks when the people involved may also be investors, colleagues or influential figures within the industry. The allegations also bring renewed attention to so-called ‘hacker houses’ — communal spaces where founders, engineers, investors and other technology workers live and socialise. Josh Barnes brings you the story on Firstpost Live.
