I guess I have a different perspective on trust. I never start with a trust assumption even if they are respected or an authority. I understand some/many people have the opposite approach. This does seem to burn them often which is why I have my approach. I do however conceptually respect transparency of "Publishing all takedown requests" as a way to at least notify those using his relay of attempts at censorship. It is unfortunate for Grinder that he made a privacy mistake. (I have nothing against him at all) But I find a takedown request (using the state to get what you want) personally more unacceptable. Difference of opinion perhaps. But, I really respect your approach to discussing it. No ill will toward you at all.

Same! You're someone I can respect even if I disagree on some points. I want to discuss this in public so people know what to expect. So far: Grinder made a decision that most here wouldn't have. Will made it worse. Fuckstr isn't taking any of this seriously so I am just highly doubting his allegations.
I think I agree on all accounts. But a person doing the wrong thing is still always in the wrong. I hate using the phrase victim blaming, but I do see it happen so often even in the smallest cases. Yes I live my life low trust as well, but it's exhausting and kind of unhealthy to your personal growth. You have to trust people to survive, you get unlucky sometimes. People want to feel safe outside their community and protected from bad people doing bad things. But I also understand the reality is no one can protect you, privacy is the toothpaste you can't put back in the tube. Life is full of that balance. Some have more stake in their online identity than others.
