This is a reframing of what I used to the call the “Clinton Paradox” after the former US Secretary of State. She gave a landmark speech about the internet to the UN (?) in which she said, essentially, that the internet should be available to everybody except for people that we don’t like. How can you have a system under which people have to provide their real identities and yet remain anonymous? Conversely, how can whistleblowers remain anonymous while non-whistleblowers do not? How do you know if I am going to be a whistleblower in the future or not?
