It's not just "sloppy opsec". He re-published a blog under his real name, with a link to his blog in the book. He intentionally linked his blog identity to his real identity in 2017, doxing himself. Is it really unfair for the NYT to then use this information?
They petty tyranny is here's a person who says this is my blog name. That's it. We shouldn't be in a position to sit in judgement of the quality of their opsec, lousy or not, and decide that one big corporation can change their rank in other big corporations giant search engine.

I mean, that is part of the mission of journalism though. Maybe there is a case this guy wasn't newsworthy, or that his cult of rationalists weren't driving opinions in Silicon Valley, but what happened after sure makes it seems like the story made sense.

I mean, the entire argument seems to be: newsworthy guy is suddenly not newsworthy, and his published identity is not relevant. I honestly don't get it.
