Privacy and consent are key values at Coindesk.
But did you know they have a policy that respects pseudonyms? Find out why @CoinDesk stands up for privacy:
Over the summer of 2020 the NYT was writing a story to dox @slatestarcodex
Coindesk decided to take a stand and publicly embrace pseudonyms with a no-doxxing policy.
MarcH, the executive editor at @CoinDesk writes:
"One of the core values of the audience CoinDesk serves, one that we wholeheartedly embrace, is privacy, often defined as “the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world.”
Quoting from the Cypherpunk Manifesto
MarcH goes on to say that they didn't need to know @hasufl real name in order to publish his work.
He built up credibility and reputation without having his real identity exposed
I applaud the courage and hope more media organizations follow a no-doxxing policy like @CoinDesk
