A company abused their clout to steal ownership of an npm package from it’s FOSS developer. Because NPM was complicit in the theft, the maintainer deleted all their packages and abandoned NPM. One of those was left-pad, which was used by tons of other major projects, which could no longer be built. NPM then restored left-pad against it’s owners wishes and handed control to another corporate shill.
