- fermentation 1y agoDo you think we'd be reading the story if it were on some random blog? Actually, WE might. But my mom wouldn't.
- firesteelrain 1y agoIf it’s about principle, you take the hard road. If you take the book deal, that’s profit with activism as garnish.
- KaiserPro 1y ago> She could have started a blog if she was motivated by truth now you are liable on your own, without any of the backing of a large publisher with specialist lawyers on staff. Plus it'd go nowhere and be taken down almost instantly by facebook.
- firesteelrain 1y agoIf the goal was a moral one then you better be willing to die on your own sword.
- queenkjuul 1y agoLike by facing bankruptcy for publicizing accounts of malfeasance?
- pikelet 1y agoYeah, like… exactly what she's doing? People here are so willing to assume that she's doing all this out of self interest, because of what? A $500,000 book deal? Compared to what she stands to lose? She isn't stupid, she knows the risk. As a New Zealander myself I'm not sure if there's just some cultural difference at play here with the tendency to assume the worst in people but it seems kind of sad.
- firesteelrain 1y agoIf self interest was the only goal there are far easier and safer ways to cash in than going head to head with Facebook.
