Well, off the top of my head: to avoid compromising the appearance of the projects and the movement as neutral providers of information; to avoid bad publicity; to avoid antagonizing governments or corporate interests; to avoid compromising the Foundation's tax-exempt status; to avoid fragmenting the resources and attention of the movement; to avoid creating divisions within the projects and the movement that would make it more difficult for volunteers to work together.
