Not at all.
I’m saying that if you are going to make a claim like this in the media, it’s a fair expectation that you’re going to be asked to back it up, something that is not unreasonable at all.
We are moving to a model where you can make an accusation in the media with zero evidence and the person you are acccusing will be crucified on your work alone. There is no way for someone who is accused to defend themselves from these claims since accusations are being made anonymously and never in a court where facts and evidence can be presented. Even if the claims are tried in court, acquittals are meaningless since your name is already destroyed.
The model used in some European countries should be adopted. Names withheld until convicted.
