You see I don’t fully disagree.

This is not the luxury that all have. I am a survivor advocate and when survivors step forward anonymously it’s more difficult for them to be believed especially when speaking out against the powerful and it’s already difficult for public survivors to be believed.

I was thinking about why Julian #Assange wasn’t anon while running Wikileaks last night.

Would #Wikileaks have had the impact that it had if he had been anon? If you look at the body of Wikileaks work, I believe that unfortunately it needed a public face to gain traction. I’m not saying I fully agree with or disagree with his personality etc. I’m solely speaking about Wikileaks and public traction.

What was more important? Remaining anon or exposing human rights violations and war crimes to the masses?

How about there is just a culture of calling out bad behavior? How about we start there? nostr:note1lz2v903t0axa2nn8v38hjyjedyasjw2k86w7t9s5ckrs7py5xatqhr6uqm

I think that it would be interesting to speak with Assange and find out what if anything he would have done differently with Wikileaks and if that would include being anon for Wikileaks.

That’s a pretty good test case along with Snowden or Ross.

I see some cases with survivors exposing powerful abusers in a similar way.
