>>Bezos wrote an email encouraging people to contact him directly if they suffered abuse.

That is to identify dissenters so that they can be eliminated before they create some damage in the news. Not to solve any of their problems.

Whistle blowing never works. Its a mechanism to identify dissenters and eliminate them.

*non-anonymous whistle-blowing

Exactly. I exclusively encourage anonymous, evidence-based whistleblowing to reduce odds of damage to whistleblower. It's a ridiculous notion that whistleblower should suffer negative consequences if it's illegal or harmful activity they're revealing. Let those doing the harms own up to it.

Treating whistle-blowers well can be a commitment device.
