This is a very common deflection tactic by corporations.
Try and discredit the leaker over the information that was leaked.
We saw it with Wikileaks and now we will see as more and more tech employees start sharing what goes on behind the curtains.
- vintermann 5y agoThe leak is more important than the leaker. That I support and value the Snowden leaks doesn't mean I always have to agree with Snowden (I think he's terrible on macroeconomics and crypto, for instance). No whistleblower has ever received such a red carpet as Frances Haugen. In itself, it's good that she's aggressively defended by the political establishment rather than facing reprisals and jail. But it should make you question what's going on here, quite apart from the contents of the leak itself. One of the things Haugen proposes, repealing section 230 protection, is even supported by Facebook itself and strongly opposed by antimonopolists (who argue that it will be far easier to comply for Facebook than any would be competitor).
