I don't know about tech enough to pickup on naunces but I read the announcements and the tweets they linked in their announcements.
If I had to guess. Some white male board member when he was 18-21yo and extremely nerdy socially awkward, fucked some <18yo girl (probably in the 14-17yo+ range). The same girl had given him nudes and/or he had nudes of other <18yo. He go in trouble for it when parents found out but not too major. Life went on.
Guy hit on this Patricia chick at some conference or made some off comment about something to do with her. She decided to ruin the guy and discovered this history of his (perhaps even knew of it because she was from the same area etc...). Decides to fuck the guy over. Most people actually liked the guy so they tried to defend him as best they could. Some people saw the virtue signal as an opportunity to win I stand with woman points and ran with it. Turned into huge drama.
18-21 year old dudes are between a rock and a hard place with women. They're under pressure to lose their V-cards and prove they're real men, but they're at an age where most of them have no money, no job, are dependent on their parents, and are thus gonna get pretty much ZERO attention from girls their own age, who are banging 25 year old graduates with rented bachelor pads.
Meanwhile teenage girls will be all over them, but they will be fucking vilified if they dare have sex with girls who are literally thinking about NOTHING else whenever they're with them.
Yup. A friend of mine when I was in university used to hang-out at a high school when he would have been 19yo. He ended up dating this 16yo grade 11 student. To this day, she was the hottest girl he has ever been with and ever be with.

And that's why in most places that aren't the USA, the age of emancipation is, in fact, 16.
