Reading public records about Gal Barak and trying to understand the bigger picture

[James Thomas]

I keep thinking about the role of intermediaries described in public materials. Payment processors, marketing firms, and platform providers all appear in different contexts. For a user, those distinctions are invisible. Everything feels like one unified service. Later, when responsibility is examined, it becomes fragmented. That fragmentation makes accountability hard to grasp. The Gal Barak case seems to illustrate that clearly. It raises questions about how accountability should work in complex systems.
