Good work, Diara. You are wrestling with a really important issue here in a thoughtful way. This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I admit my initial instinct is that if you post something in public…it seems like fair game. The ethic of the web has always revolved around linking and including, with proper credit, the thoughts and ideas of others. That said, in more recent years I’ve thought more about using a Tweet in a big publication could really harm a vulnerable population, and break fragile trust. I’m coming around to the idea that we absolutely should ask whenever possible and while that isn’t an absolute rule, it’s still an important one.
