It wasn't an analogy, it was a single point that disproved the prior (my motivation is fear of ideas) as well as the solution (curated internet).
I vehemently disagree with the assumption that the act of whistleblowing transforms one into public figure.
edit: A better analogy would be a recipe for crack cocaine. I have 0 use for that knowledge, and I definitely won't spread it because at best, my audience will have no use for it either, or at worst, they'll act on it and I'll likely find their actions disagreeable. If I find a link that says "How to make crack in 10 steps", I won't click it. I won't appreciate it if someone randomly injects crack-cooking instructions in a discussion about baking soda or sodium perchlorate or whatever might be one of the ingredients.
