I mean, all of this might be true or it might not be true, but either way: if Cory Doctorow is appealing to "security through obscurity" to make his argument, he's making a clownish argument.
Yeah I'm not even thinking about cory, just talking about this general issue and why it has become an issue in the past 7 years, vs any other time. I really think it's come down to enforcing political things as rules, and suggesting to any lurker who works in anti-abuse in big tech that you need to start putting a price on enforcing political rules, much like you do in many other parts of anti-abuse as you explained, or your going to destroy the company eventually.
I know that would be really hard also in most big tech, because unfortunately there is a specific political opinon culture there, and basically suggesting that you stop enforcing LGBT hate speech is not going go well with the general employee population. Puts them in a rock and hard place, so it would probably have to be done confidentially.
