Haugen isn’t really a ‘Facebook whistleblower’

> One problem with describing Haugen as a whistleblower is that it is far from clear that she has paid – or will pay – any kind of significant price for her disclosures.

Uh, she certainly 100% would have fb suing the bejeezus out of her if not for whistleblower protection laws. We’ll see if they do anyway.

A clickbait video from ... Russell Brand? Really?!?

"The support Haugen is being offered, of course, does not mean that she is not drawing attention to important matters. But it does mean that it is doubtful that “whistleblowing” is a helpful term to describe what she is doing."

Another header puzzler. Because she has wide support she's not a whistleblower?

"She has not turned her back on the establishment and revealed its darkest secrets. She has simply shifted allegiances within the establishment, making new alliances in the constantly shifting battles between elites for dominance."

Oh good lord I'm done.

I think we should save the word "whistleblower" for someone who is revealing something new and taking a personal risk. Much of what she said has been covered in the news and even documentaries for some time. Our real debate is what to do and we already have plenty of people who've been speaking their minds on that too.

Totally Clickbait. This guy is so biased against Republicans and Trump that he blames everything essentially on them, and that this whistleblower is not really a whistleblower at all. I agree that she’s not a whistleblower, but I think we are in a post Obama era of cancel culture and tribalism. This didn’t start with Trump.
