So if I sound like I’m spitting sour grapes, I can’t help but think that you would too, if you learned that your abrupt unemployment happened in order to pay for the globetrotting tour of a Prodigal Techdaughter and her VIP entourage.

And given how the operation that surrounds her seems very slick for an allegedly scrappy whistleblower, it’s worth reflecting on that a bit more maliciously.

After all, a crypto-comfy Facebooker raiding the coffers of the main digital rights fund to remove funding for grassroots and nonprofit civil society work, thereby silencing those initiatives and that expertise, is a masterful tactic.

The question is who played it.
