AIBU to think that MN are letting us down?

I have really enjoyed MN in the past, both for advice and sometimes for a laugh or a debate. I don't use other social media and feel I can express myself more freely amongst mostly other women and within the relative anonymity that a username provides. However in recent months i have seen thread after thread appear in the Daily Fail and now The Mirror and a live conversation on ITV's Loose Women!! Some of the subject matter is sensitive and could give OPs away. I know it's a public forum but sharing on here is not the same as publishing in a newspaper or an interview on TV . AIBU to expect a forum like MN, that used to feel pro women, to do more about this?

Hi everyone.
Here's what we've posted before whenever this subject comes up (as it does fairly frequently).

"We're happy to explain how things stand with regards to other sources lifting threads from MN.

As many posters have pointed out, unfortunately there’s not a huge amount we can do about it - the DM would likely claim Fair Use and that would be difficult to challenge. They would say they're just 'reporting' what was said on the thread.

Being an open site does bring many advantages, but this kind of thing is a consequence of that, we're afraid. We always like to remind our users that this is a public forum, searchable by Google, legally linkable to - and quotable by - all and sundry."
