Is anyone worried about Streisand effect type scenarios with this?
I get that the alternative is Scott being likely doxxed by the article being published, so this support against the NYT seems like a much better outcome.
At the same time, it seems like this might also lead to some malicious people being more motivated (now that they’ve heard of Scott through these channels) to figure out who he is and then share that to people who Scott would like to not know?
I am not worried, because I prefer the world where internet mobs occasionally dox people to the world where internet mobs occasionally dox people and major news outlets systematically dox people.

Oh, right, that’s a fair point.
if by some malicious people you’re including people at the NYT who view controversy as a good thing as a proxy for clicks, yes.
