Nice work Reuters: "We found him, he clearly does not want to be identified, it would have been possible for us to decide not to do this, but we did it anyway because... journalism?"

WTF.


I don't really think it's "journalism" to be doxxing the identities of folks who clearly want to stay anonymous and have their work be detached from their irl personalities.


Great, let‘s unmask those who criticize the powerful.

Try unmasking all people behind lobbyism and tax heavens.

Not to mention the people behind Epstein‘s network.
