Contradiction FinderLet’s meet the chairpersons at the standards org “#IRTF” who are responsible for overseeing our decentralization & privacy needs are met in drafting #openStandards—
#DINRG (charter #decentraliztion group)
* Lixia Zhang: has a presence on twtr but not the fedi; her blog only works for gmail users
* Dirk Kutscher: has accounts on github & twtr but not the fedi; his Google Scholar page pushes a 403 on Tor users
#PEARG (charter #privacy group who uses github [https://github.com/IRTF-PEARG])
* Sara Dickinson: a pgp key would be nice but at least she is in the fedi; though sadly she has chosen a privacy-abusing Cloudflare node (#Fosstodon); profile directs people to MS github.
* Christopher A. Wood: a “Research Lead at #Cloudflare Research” ← WTF, are you fucking kidding me?! #hypocrisy!
Shivan Kaul Sahib: personal website (shivankaul·com) is in the privacy-abusing walled garden of Cloudflare. He asks for money via the ironically named “opentech·fund” (another CF site). Has a presence on twitter, github, linkedin, keybase; also has a bluesky account but hides it & downplays it.

Dear @irtf,
Digital freedom fighters would like you to sack all of the above people except @sinodun. Plz replace them with people who can lead by example. Perhaps someone like @aral, for example.
