Not good! NYT lets Bansky have a pseudonym and I know people hired by/write for NYT using a pen name. Short of him being an immediate danger to other humans, no justification here to use his real name even if it wasn't a big secret because NYT will dominate google results.

YES! I learned this thanks to
@luerverte because I put faith in fellow tech people pretending his name is not already public and I trusted them. I'm a fucking idiot. Never again.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

No, it was not already public in the way NYT can make it! I have lived in these examples for more than a decade now; one NYT type article is make or break difference in visibility. You can go from meh, obscure to okay, have to change whole life because of it.

And having lived through this for a long time in the context of dissidents for whom preserving that friction (even if their identity was not secret secret) was essential to being able to function, I just don't see how this isn't obvious, whatever one thinks of the guy.

He's no dissident and his identity is not anonymous, it took me 2m on Google with no background on who he is to find his full name. He wants an anon identity he can create one.

And I'm telling you until this, if you googled his real name, you did not get his blog quickly in Google. I'm going to stop arguing; I don't see how on earth "sleuthing from blog would out him" is relevant to what patients who don't already know the blog see on Google.

Also, for a long time, a lot of scholars argued with the platforms that "ah, it's already public" wasn't the same, that there are levels of public and friction, and those make a huge difference, why respecting that was very important. Same principle here for NYT. /end
