Some of you might be thinking this is old news, but the original story of the revelations from last year never had the follow-up of Vox's decision. Actually, an announcement was never made however his name as a founding member of the website has been quietly removed and he has updated his LinkedIn to show that he was let go back in February.

For those of you who do not know the story: Back a year ago a former acquaintance of Phil's went on Twitter to tell her story. She knew him through online conversations where he gave her some advise in building her online presence. On one occasion she invited him to drinks and he obliged. At the end of the evening before they parted he asked her if she wanted to come with him to "Play Mario Kart", to which she declined. In her story she shared that this advance made her uncomfortable and viewed it as an abuse of power. After the story blew up, Phil apologized to her for his actions and deleted his Twitter and has not publicly commented on the story since.
