I recognized her name when this story dropped. She’s been on an Apple vendetta for some time.
At what point does legitimate whistleblowing become a vendetta?
As yet, none of it is legit

I think not because all the concentrations were pretty low. The problem that Ashley faced was that she was exposed 24/7. But to me it looks like almost all of the gas concentrations would have been considered an A-OK working environment for up to 8 hours of exposure. And while it's not wrong that fluorine is a lethal gas, it is heavily used in many industries and in medicine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine#In…
Isn't a bigger factor here, in addition to their careless attitude, the fact that they've started manufacturing semiconductors on land specifically only zoned for light industrial use, when, at least per her article, fabricating semiconductors is work that is required to be zoned heavy industrial? The issue being, of course, the proximity of residential to a "light industrial" vs. "heavy industrial" plot sure changes…
She invented the idea that they are making semiconductors there.

I'm still looking into this and forming my opinion. It's very curious how at the end of her YouTube video she mentions other residents in her building came forward and said they too were sick (numerous ER visits over 2 years), and they DIDN'T KNOW WHY, until they saw her expose in the newspaper. That seems to counter your hypochondria theory, no? see: https://youtu.be/pGK4_sR1CvY?si=KEK9xh0mUEStV76-&t=2680
People get strange symptoms all the time. I currently have a chronic scalp condition that doctors haven’t really identified and a really stiff neck. Of course I’m going to go ‘aha!’ If someone gives me a plausible explanation
Psoriasis and computer neck?

#275Can anyone find the OP on epa.gov? That would be preferable to a dropbox.com link. We merged half a dozen of these threads. Related URLs follow.

Here is the facility: https://echo.epa.gov/detailed-facility-report?fid=1100011682... Maybe the document is from a FOIA request or something similar (and therefore not public)? > The US EPA notified her they finalized the report but are currently unable to share it with her as Apple apparently declared the report of their (assumed) numerous environmental violations is Apple Confidential. Gjovik has a pending FOIA req…
It's probably not been uploaded to their docs yet

If your comment is motivated by substantive personal experience, that's great, but then the thing to do is to share some of the information that your view is based on. You know it, but the rest of us don't. A snarky swipe with no information is just as bad a comment whether it's posted by someone with relevant experience or not. If you don't share relevant information, it may as well not exist. If you do share it, yo…
> It looks like you can speak openly enough about it to say more than just "Hello Apple Global Security", which is the run-of-the-mill internet stuff we're trying to avoid on this site.

If you're seriously accusing me of being Apple Global Security, it should be fairly obvious from my comment history that that's not the case (and explicitly: I have only ever been employed as an engineer, and only by companies that are antagonistic to Apple).
Calling out the fact that she appears to have constantly changed her story makes her look untrustworthy. It could be a smear tactic by corporate enforcers, or it could be that she's genuinely untrustworthy!

Ashley Gjovik's lawsuit against Apple claims that Apple broke into her home in three different states, intercepted her home internet, follow her in unmarked vehicles, threatened to mail her a severed head, and bugged her apartment.
This reads like a meth-induced psychosis
Re: US EPA Enforcement and Compliance on Apple Fabrication
#278There is a disappointing amount of character slander rather than refutation of the author's claims happening on this thread. The foremost trustworthy party is the EPA. Note, I am not a lawyer or anyone who could professionally give an opinion on this.* The most egregious violation the author purports Apple did is the illegal venting of hazardous chemicals. IMHO, the most plausible evidence supporting the author's cla…

Do you also believe that Apple has broken into her homes across three states, follows her in unmarked vehicles, threatened to mail her a severed head, intercepted her home internet, and bugged her apartment, too?
Or is bringing up her own dubious allegations against this company off-limits when she's analyzing an EPA report without any qualifications?

Found the shill, folks. Thanks for your terrible take, friend. This lady is negative about Apple because they literally poisoned her.
As far as I can tell, their original complaints[0] were about the Apple office they worked at, not about an Apple facility near their apartment. It is quite incredible that they've identified Apple as poisoning them by multiple different methods at different places. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Gj%C3%B8vik
Her other claims have all been dismissed, so she needs a new one
Re: US EPA Enforcement and Compliance on Apple Fabrication
#280The author of this has been on a crusade against Apple for years, stemming from an incident that was probably hypochondria. They've outright lied about multiple incidents (see https://twitter.com/shantinix/status/1433297575914971136 ), and I would very strongly doubt any new claims made. For example, a spot check of one of the claims has them currently saying "Still, Gjovik’s limited testing returned results showing…

As someone who lives in that building and works at Apple, I don't believe her. We were all pretty mad that she caused us to panic about being poisoned and gettin cancer.
