You know, so I've talked about the first one.

People looked for resource support.
They looked for information support.
They looked for moral support.
And they looked for feedback support.
If you look at how Frances Haugen did it, she found all these forms of support from her network of people.

A lawyer at a firm that specialized in whistleblowing was another one.
A Wall Street Journal editor was another one.
So it was the collective that gave it to her.
