That's not the problem in so many cases. If you ever try to do anything remotely adversarial (investigative journalism, whistleblowers, for example), you'll find that the anonymity problem goes far beyond cultural inclusivity. That said, strong anonymity doesn't really solve everything since metadata/sentence structure is still damning.
- ianai 10y agoI'm not offering a perfect solution. I just think it'd help.
- bpchaps 10y agoBelieve me, I completely agree. It's the number one problem I face on a daily basis and it fills me with stupid amounts of desperation that seems to only make matters worse. For me, 'fixing' the lack of inclusivity is the number one thing that should be worked on as a society if we ever want our future generations to live contently. The problem with talking about inclusivity is that in many ways it seems to be a symptom of a much larger set of problems. It's an enormous problem that won't fix itself and there are things that you can do to help, even with small contributions. Find something to fix and, well - fix it. No matter how difficult or time consuming it is, it'll at least give you a perspective into where problems truly are. There are loads and loads of addressable problems which may not fix anything now, but it can set the foundation for ten years from now. Voting isn't your only course of action. Finding ways to fix niggling class/social/economic issues is a great start and I highly recommend that you try. My personal project along these lines is to find invalidly created parking tickets in Chicago. The hope there is that it will reduce the stress of lower income communities and give them a bit more financial freedom to get out of bad situations. If you want to talk about this more, I'd love to - hubblefisher at gee mail
