i don't believe cowardice is the only reason for amnesty international's decision and that framing is doing JK Rowling's PR for her as this unstoppable legal machine which - when cases are actually challenged in court - is not always true. i think AI leadership is sympathetic to GC orgs and causes

AI UK made the initial report but the retractions and disavowal came from the International Secretariat, which framed AI UK's report as being a rogue action they did not approve. perhaps this was purely cowardly, pragmatic survival instinct but they've stood up to far more powerful opponents before

on one hand i agree that this is essentially weaponised cowardice, on the other, I think the fecklessness angle is more harmful to the org
