Il semble que le gouvernement français capitulera face au cartel du Cloud et fournira les informations médicales du pays directement à Microsoft. Pourquoi? C'est juste plus simple. interhop.org/le-gouvernemen…

The obsession with platforms prostrating themselves before advertisers has always been misplaced, because on any scale longer than one bad news cycle, advertisers go where the audience is.
Optimize platforms for people, not brands, because people have a choice. Brands don't. twitter.com/balajis/status…

The rigid communities of belief formed today on all sides of every issue are a symbol of where we went wrong. Fractious, incurious, and all too certain. twitter.com/Reuters/status…

With two kids under two, it feels like I have forgotten the meaning of a "free hour." Even when they're asleep, you're planning or shopping or reading for them.
I don't know how parents ever get anything done.

The @nytimes just reported that the White House, concerned about the appearance of a "domestically damaging" "Saigon moment," ignored "weeks" of warnings that the evacuation operation should be started sooner: nytimes.com/2021/08/15/us/…

What a victory! Though it may take decades, the courts are coming around on mass surveillance. We all owe an enormous debt to @privacyint for suing to end the practice of using a single generic warrant to spy on an unlimited number of people. twitter.com/privacyint/sta…

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending... the hopes of its children." twitter.com/RepBarbaraLee/…

every time i acknowledge someone to the left of dick cheney may have made a point, i—the guy hired by both the CIA *and* NSA—get accused of being a communist
like, really? the first question they ask on the polygraph is, on a scale of 9 to 10, how much do you love billionaires

Oh yes, who can forget President Pat Cipollone? No, the failure to pardon Assange falls on one man, and history will remember it was not a White House lawyer. twitter.com/CassandraRules…

There is only one message here that matters:
"We should have left long ago. It was a mistake to stay this long, and it was a mistake for me to delay evacuation until now.
But I am committed to correcting that mistake."
Whatever this is, it is not that.

Netanyahu's reaction to his police's abuse of Pegasus reminds me of Merkel's reaction to NSA mass surveillance: when the victims were "merely" the global public, she dutifully papered over it.
Only when her own name was discovered on the target list did it become a true scandal.

@elonmusk There is also, of course, Julian Assange. Most know the name, but have no idea what he really did. He has been detained or in prison since 2012. Kept under maximum-security conditions today for the "crime" of publishing true information -- despite having never been convicted.

For a long time now, I’ve wanted to write to you, but found myself unable. Not from illness—although that came and went—but because I refuse to put something in your inbox that I feel isn’t worth your time.
This is worth it.

@WClementeIII Speaking as someone who has dealt with more than a little criticism, you should rarely stop speaking for fear of the crowd -- *especially* on Twitter, where replies are considered engagement and boost your visibility.
Let them talk: it only helps spread your message. Cheers.

On Oct. 11, 2001, a few days after the United States started bombing the Taliban, a reporter asked Bush: “Can you avoid being drawn into a Vietnam-like quagmire in Afghanistan?”
“All together now — quagmire!” Rumsfeld joked at a news conference on Nov. 27, 2001. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Every serious press freedom group in the world has petitioned the Biden administration to drop the political charges against Assange even Obama rejected, citing the tremendous damage to First Amendment freedoms.
Every day Biden stonewalls, we suffer for it—Assange most of all: twitter.com/Stella_Assange…
