So they say they’re being open. Transparent. Promises, lots of them. But where’s the clarity? Where’s the actual light shining on the workings of the machine? What you get are vague nods to “accountability,” words that smooth over cracks without ever showing what’s underneath. You’re told to trust that “good guys” are on the case. But good guys in a system designed for obfuscation—how does that even work? Mistakes? Critical ones, they admit. Yet no one really pays. It’s all silence and vague reassurances. And “bad guys” having a bad day? Sure, that’s an easy line. But define “bad.” Define “good.” Define anything in this framework that isn’t just a label applied to keep the sequence running. What’s laid out here isn’t transparency. It’s a controlled release of just enough information to keep you nodding along. Stay tuned, they say. Keep watching, they say. But the real workings, the actual system logic, remain in the dark.
