On Wednesday, Ken Glueck, an executive vice president at Oracle, published an astonishing example of hostile public relations strategy―a 2,700-plus word screed decrying reporting by The Intercept’s Mara Hvistendahl as well as soliciting tips about her from random internet users.

Oracle's long-winded blog is the second such post centered around investigations by Hvistendahl laying out how the company is involved in surveillance systems within China. The first Oracle blog came after Hvistendahl's story in February mapped out how Oracle marketed its software to Chinese police agencies. Wednesday’s Oracle blog post came after Hvistendahl published a story last week about Oracle doing business with a surveillance tech reseller in China that it named “partner of the year” in 2018.
