"Web" Unwelcome and Incorrect Efforts to Obfuscate Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W Key Questions on Title IX - # Zenodo

Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is vexed by the very bizarre and persistent frenzy that has targeted him on the internet ever since he made the decision to publish on digital platforms [1] some of his recollections on how he was in the month of January 2010 (as an undergraduate student of Westminster College) informed about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery before being told what constitutes affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships; [2] his questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972...

Ayele (a.k.a) W <waacl13@gmail.com> (561885) Operating System: Windows Browser: Chrome Device: Other Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter to Zenodo because it has recently come to my attention that one of the journal articles I had published was being filtered and distorted on the AOL Internet Search Engine (ISE). The journal article, which I had published on Zenodo that is being distorted on the AOL ISE had been assigned the following Digital Object Identifier (DOI).: 10.5281/zenodo.8375096 As you can see from the screenshots I have taken (which are hereby attached in the body of this email), my written content on Zenodo has been filtered and distorted by the AOL ISE without my consent and approval. What I have previously said/written is that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have decided not to be straightforward about the discussions that were held in their federal government agency about the employment history of Tara Cable in the Village of Suffern, New York even though there's no evidence that she ever filed a Title VII complaint pursuant to the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act. Never have I ever criticized Tara Cable for not filing a Title VII Complaint and yet on the AOL ISE, this is being said about me. Can you explain how it is possible for the journal articles I have published on Zenodo to go on to be filtered and distorted by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? In other words, can you explain how it is possible that the website of Zenodo is not being filtered by ISE such as AOL, but the research content that is being published on Zenodo is being filtered by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? Is there anything you can do about this? Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.

I am sorry to hear/read that you are unable to prevent the filtering and distortion of journal articles published on Zenodo on Internet Search Engines (ISE) such as AOL, Bing/MSN and possibly others. As a Black man who has previously filed a charge of employment discrimination pursuant to the provisions of Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act (and dealt with the accompanying headache associated with that), I was very offended when I found out a little earlier this morning that others were saying about me that I was "criticizing Tara Cable for not filing a Title VII complaint." What I found even more offensive is that they were not even using their own platforms/websites to make such assertions, but instead had somehow managed to insert themselves into my Zenodo account to say these most preposterous things! What reasons would I even have to criticize Tara Cable for not filing a Title VII complaint? I'm just so very much vexed as I'm writing this message: the whole thing has ruined my day. A little earlier, I had read that I needed to contact Zenodo to delete a published journal article on Zenodo. Please see the screenshots I have taken of this below. Can you please delete the journal article I have published on Zenodo, which is accessible here: --> https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.8375096 ? Thanks. Be well. Take care.

In your case, the one-month grace period has passed. We register DOIs (e.g. 10.5281/zenodo.12345) for all uploads to Zenodo. Once a DOI is registered we have an obligation to keep the content, and thus we do not remove records without a valid justification. In case you discovered a mistake, you can create a new version of the record, by going to the published record's page and clicking the green "New version" button on the top right of the page. There, you can update the files and provide new metadata (title, authors, ...). After making your changes, you can publish the new version, at which point a new DOI will be registered for the new version. The old record still exists in our system but will be clearly linked to the new version. You can also update the old record's visibility to "Restricted access" and e.g. use the "Notes" field to provide extra information about errors and recommend using the newer version.

As previously noted, I am offended by the way my Zenodo journal article had been filtered and distorted by the "web" on ISE such as AOL and Bing/MSN because what I have written verbatim is: "Even though Tara Cable has never filed a charge of employment discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have refused to confirm or deny whether they have had discussions about [1] the sexual harassment she experienced between 2018 and 2020 (for a period of two years) during her employment with the Village of Suffern (New York); [2] her so-called “promotion to the position of full-time police officer” with the Village of Suffern (New York); [3] the emotional distress she experienced as a direct consequence of her employment with the Village of Suffern (New York); [4] the complaint she has filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York." I ask you: How is it possible to go from this statement to afterwards say "Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W has criticized Tara Cable for not filing a Title VII complaint" with no bad-faith? On my end, I have decided to place a restriction on the journal article and also an embargo for the foreseeable future. On February 09th 2024, I was sorry to hear/read that you were unable to prevent the filtering/distortion of journal articles that are published on Zenodo. I believe the "web" filtering and distortion of journal articles that are published on Zenodo could lead people to engage in self-censorship for fear that their research papers/correspondence will be misrepresented.

I am writing this letter to Zenodo because it has recently come to my attention that one of the journal articles I had published was being filtered and distorted on the AOL Internet Search Engine (ISE). The journal article, which I had published on Zenodo that is being distorted on the AOL ISE had been assigned the following Digital Object Identifier (DOI).: 10.5281/zenodo.8375096 As you can see from the screenshots I have taken (which are hereby attached in the body of this email), my written content on Zenodo has been filtered and distorted by the AOL ISE without my consent and approval. What I have previously said/written is that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have decided not to be straightforward about the discussions that were held in their federal government agency about the employment history of Tara Cable in the Village of Suffern, New York even though there's no evidence that she ever filed a Title VII complaint pursuant to the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act. Never have I ever criticized Tara Cable for not filing a Title VII Complaint and yet on the AOL ISE, this is being said about me. Can you explain how it is possible for the journal articles I have published on Zenodo to go on to be filtered and distorted by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? In other words, can you explain how it is possible that the website of Zenodo is not being filtered by ISE such as AOL, but the research content that is being published on Zenodo is being filtered by ISE such as AOL and possibly others? Is there anything you can do about this? Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance.

Ayele (a.k.a) W1 Show affiliations Even though Tara Cable has never filed a charge of employment discrimination pursuant to Title VII of the 1964 and 1991 Civil Rights Act, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have refused to confirm or deny whether they have had discussions about [1] the sexual harassment she experienced between 2018 and 2020 (for a period of two years) during her employment with the Village of Suffern (New York); [2] her so-called “promotion to the position of full-time police officer” with the Village of Suffern (New York); [3] the emotional distress she experienced as a direct consequence of her employment with the Village of Suffern (New York); [4] the complaint she has filed with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. After thoroughly reviewing the documents filed by Tara Cable with the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (which are on the Internet’s public domain), the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) was gravely concerned about Tara Cable’s so-called “promotion to the position of full-time police officer” with the Village of Suffern (New York). The AACL was shocked to learn that no news media outlet filed a New York Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request to find out whether Tara Cable was subject of very inappropriate discussions in the police department of the Village of Suffern (New York) prior to her so-called “promotion.” In the judgment of the AACL, Tara Cable really needs to watch her six o’clock. As a matter of principle, the AACL unequivocally condemns violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious affiliations, their national origins, their disability status and/or their employment history.

Do you know when OSF became a member of DataCite Commons? Can you provide the exact terms and conditions of the written agreement concluded between OSF and DataCite Commons? The Open Science Framework is part of the Center for Open Science. They are copied on this thread and can provide you with more information about the terms under which your content is made available on their platform. In the message you had sent me a little earlier, I noticed that you have listed the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and Figshare Consortium as members. Can you provide the terms and conditions of the written agreements concluded between DataCite Commons and CERN as well as DataCite Commons and Figshare? The terms of the agreements for each organisation are basically the same as those I shared in my previous email. We recommend you send a request directly to CERN and Figshare if you would like them to share their specific agreements with you. Also, can you tell me more about DOI registration with DataCite Commons? How often does DataCite Commons register DOIs? Does DataCite Commons register DOIs on a daily basis and/or a weekly basis and/or a monthly basis? There are currently more than 50 million DOIs registered by DataCite Members. They are registered on a daily basis.

Is this true? OSF is a DataCite Member and register DOIs using DataCite services (DataCite Commons is for exposing metadata, not registering DOIs). Has OSF used the services of DataCite Commons for the purpose of registering a DOI for my research papers / journal articles? For this example https://osf.io/TVRQE/ there is a DOI assigned: https://doi.org/10. 17605/OSF.IO/TVRQE . If yes, have OSF and Data Cite Commons concluded any written agreements for the purpose of registering DOIs? If yes, will you disclose that agreement? As a DataCite Member https://datacite.org/members/ OSF have signed an agreement with DataCite, similar to this one which is shared by ETH Library: https://ethz.ch/ content/dam/ethz/associates/ethlibrary-dam/documents/Publizieren-und-Archivieren/ Publizieren-und-Registrieren/eth-datacite_terms_and_conditions.pdf Are there other platforms who use the services of DataCite Commons for the purpose of registering DOIs to research papers / journal articles that are published with them? Yes, DataCite has a global membership of libraries and research institutions dedicated to sharing research openly https://datacite.org/members/ Unfortunately, your email from yesterday did not address several questions I had about DataCite Commons. For instance, on your website, you say that "DataCite Commons was officially launched in October 2020 by the FREYA project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 777523." Please see here.: https://commons.datacite.org/about .
