* As an ethical principle, safety is just: >
* As a power tool, “safety” gets weaponized all the time to: - Hide failures from oversight - Silence critics - Block transparency - Maintain control by claiming “we’re protecting you”

* Real safety: involves transparency, shared oversight, clear standards, and willingness to be audited and corrected.
* Fake safety: vague threats, no accountability, lots of “you wouldn’t understand,” and rules that bind the weak more than the strong.

When those in control invoke “safety” without proportional transparency and accountability, they’re not doing ethics; they’re doing PR.
