Whistleblowers generally do not need anonymous public platforms. The generally can go through an intermediary that is not anonymous and that has a reputation for being trustworthy, that intermediary can look at their evidence and perhaps do some independent verification, and then can publish.

Similar for dissidents. They can generally find a party outside the reach of the regime they are dissidents of that also opposes that regime and agrees with the dissidents. They just need a secure way to communicate with that outside party. The outside party can then handle spreading the message on public platforms.



Yeah no. Look up the three generation policy. I’m married to a defector.
