to those saying innocent until proven guilty.
my opinion is lichess' response isn't about calling someone guilty of anything, it's about
1. organisations that allegedly failed to act on multiple reports of assault
2. which if true are in some ways partly responsible for the subsequent alleged assaults that occurred
3. allegedly failed to protect their members
4. but the biggest let down is those organisations have shown they haven't learnt from this, therefor it's more likely to occur again. they have repeatedly said they acted timely and appropriate, yet, they also say they have made policy and other changes. why the need for changes if they acted appropriately and timely?
everyone makes mistakes, but if you aren't held accountable, if you are protected and enabled, those mistakes will keep happening and get bigger and bigger.
if we fail to hold these organisations accountable, they will keep making the same mistakes and the mistakes will get bigger and bigger.
