Organisers of WordCamps, community-organized events for WordPress users, have been ordered to take down some social media posts and share their login credentials for social networks.
The order to share creds came from an employee of Automattic, the compay whose CEO happens to be Matt Mullenweg, co-creator of WordPress, and which owns owns and operates WordPress.com, a hosted version of the open source CMS. A letter sent to WordCamp organizers explains that the creds are needed due to "recurrent issues with new organizing teams losing access to the event's social media accounts."
