Thank you for doing this investigation! It must have been a strenuous undertaking in terms of time, thought and emotion.
It would be good to have some sort of community immune system, as you call it, (although one would have to be wary of autoimmune disorders) but it’s very understandable not to want to do that part-time. I started an investigation much smaller than yours last year, but gave up eventually because it was too much work in addition to my job and other things I want to do in my life. (Although a bit of sleuthing is fun, too. My investigation didn’t involve the personal safety/public interest dilemmas that yours did.)
Added 2023-09-17: After skimming the comments and seeing the down- and disagreement votes, I have to note: While it would be nice to have a working immune system (or just more investigations as circumspect and comprehensive as Ben’s), attempting to build it would be even riskier and more difficult than I had thought. Probably near-impossible.
