There isn't any reason someone can't be both a whistleblower and an activist.

> and some of her suggestions really do not align with what the tech community wants at all

For what it's worth, she says her views on E2E encryption have been misrepresented.

Also, where is this single "tech community" with cohesive views on all this? I've never seen it. I'm pretty skeptical of anyone claiming to speak for the tech community.

My link above has direct quotes from Haughen regarding E2E encryption.

I don’t understand why people are so eager to project something different on to what she’s directly saying.

I'll just note, I'm not projecting anything.

Do you really think those tweeted screen shots sum it all up accurately, though? Considering that she says her views are being mispreresented, couldn't those two quotes be cherry-picked? You know the reputation of the Telegraph, right?

A guy tweeted that someone said (unattributed, but I assume the Telegraph) that she said.... It's just not solid. If you're going to accept that uncritically, I think you're essentially believing what you want to believe.
