Have a look at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20651607 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20651607 if you haven't already - as I understand it the immediate issue is that people will want to "cancel" you and/or stir up righteous indignation.
The media will hype & try to create an aura of drama because that's what makes the story interesting to readers.
It's also a market where your customers are probably going to value a bit of discretion, i.e, they will prefer a supply chain that doesn't "sell and tell".
- mattisj 3y agoOh so it wasn't what was IN the article, but rather that there was an article? In the page you've linked (I had seen it but thank you!) The grugq mentions that it 'wasn't what he thought it was' so did Andy Greenberg write something malicious? Because he surely would have known that talking about his dealings with the US and trashing Russian and Chinese marketplaces would have had a bed effect. But then again he DID say it was a big mistake of his. I am definitely overanalyzing it, but I appreciate your help!
