I've read the article about the increase in child labour yesterday, but it didn't say they also were being employed as Social media managers

Can't see it right now (Cloudflare error), so could you expand a bit, please?

Edit: Ok, I found an earlier discussion on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33907982 "Rasperry Pi hires former police surveillance officer as Maker in Residence"

My first impression is that this is just a big nothingburger.

"Childish people working at Raspberry Pi" part was about the twitter thread, how Pi announces such hire and how it handles the replies. Pi announces an old surveillance officer is hired for the project (his old work is apparently unrelated to his new role), some people (warranted or not) raises eyebrows, social media guys at Pi handles the situation in a very childish manner

Ok, well, I was unable to load https://archive.ph/AM8OA.

Yeah, the "Oh no, he was a police officer" type responses are far worse than the Pi team's response.

They should have been more judicious at figuring out who to ignore, but that seems like a trivial thing to get upset over.
