Recruitment company boss accused of using AI to scrape data for doxxing
Tom Watson, founder of recruiting firm Futura Energy Group, was accused by Hope Not Hate of operating the X account "Big Time Charlie." Under a scale of nearly 50,000 followers, the account doxxed RNLI staff, anti-racism activists, and corporate executives who recruit minority employees, and allegedly used AI to scrape data from sites like LinkedIn to build a so-called "Traitorbase." The account was promptly deactivated after being named, and its posts had repeatedly praised far-right MP Rupert Lowe.
