What's happening to Twitter is not the same as what happened to MySpace, LiveJournal, Tumblr, or other faded sites. People gradually moved from those sites on their own accord to better options. What's happening to Twitter is a controlled demolition.

If EARN IT becomes law, what happens on your iPhone won’t stay on your iPhone. And what happens on your website, in your cloud backups, behind your DMs, and pretty much everywhere else online—will be right behind it. eff.org/deeplinks/2022…

THREAD: You didn't hear about this. But last week, as every news outlet allowed police to use "rise in homicides" to argue for more punishment, the most robust criminological study in history was released. "Incarceration cannot be justified on grounds it affords public safety."

Dammit, I was planning on having in-person D&D sessions and lockpicking meetups again...

Clearly a rubicon moment for privacy and end-to-end encryption. I worry if Apple faces anything other than existential annihilation for proposing continual surveillance of private messages then it won't be long before other providers feel the pressure to do the same.

Protip: if you have a brilliant idea for a voting system and you’re uninterested in learning how elections work, what the requirements are, and what came before, don’t be surprised when people who actually know that stuff fail to think your idea is as brilliant as you do.

How was Facebook scraped? Effectively, the attacker created an address book with every phone number on the planet and then asked Facebook if his ’friends’ are on Facebook.

I was really upset that homeless people did not have access to the $1,400 stimulus check. I just found this out. If you are homeless, you can go to a tax return office where they will file something called EIP return. They will put the money on a debit card after. Retweet.!

IMPORTANT: In the coming weeks expect Democrats to push respond to this moment by pushing for: -more surveillance -more policing -more Internet censorship This is the exact opposite of what we need to do. We need to address this problem at its root: systemic racism & injustice

Shame on Google for letting your kids know they can't trust you. What an awful world where they find out that you're a duplicitous monster via an automated notification instead of when you pull out their personal secrets to score points in a petty argument like god intended.

For the love of all that is holy please stop calling Section 230 “legal protections for Silicon Valley.” This is like calling the 4th amendment a “legal protection for drug dealers.”It’s technically true but utterly obscures the full story

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai is hellbent on doing as much damage as possible before the Biden administration takes office. And that includes doling out one last favor for Rupert Murdoch. A thread— 1/6
