To be fair, I also dont believe any stories about a blackmail pedo ring ran by Yudkowsky. And with all the bad stuff going round, why make up a blackmail ring, like he is the Epstein of Rationality. (Note this is a diff thing than: people did statutory rape and it was covered up, which considering the Dill thing is a bit more believable).
As for privacy well, Brent Dill has been running around UFO discords telling people he’s in hiding because the rats want to kill him. Make of that what you will.
