Wired's Attack on Privacy

Am I the only who finds it odd how Wired is treated as a person?

The article begins with

>The Wired article by David Gilbert

Acknowledging that there is a real person called David Gilbert who wrote the article and it wasn't just an amalgamation known as "Wired" who did. Yet later it says:

>Wired just a month earlier encouraged its readers to adopt encrypted messaging apps, making its current stance even more contradictory.

But that article was written by Lauren Goode and Michael Calore.

If Wired had a stance in this, it would be exercising editorial control, which some would criticize for censoring the authors. Instead, Wired publishes whatever its authors write, and then some criticize for writing contradictory articles.

If I was Wired I'd just shrug because you can't win.

When you own a trademark that is for publishing and you let people slap your logo on their writing, you take responsibility for what they say. That's the whole point of the trademark, to take credit for publishing the words. You can't have it both ways.
