Miku's Digital Goblin Sings of shadow

If the internet is a goblin's cave—and it is—then shadow is one of the more interesting skeletons someone has chained to the wall.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking shadow to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.
