The more censorship happens at this level, the more its very existence is hidden from the public.

@PETEKEELEY I hold to my own belief, a hope recorded once and never repeated, that there will come a day when you apprehend the world beyond the color of its flags, and on that day appreciate what you have written.
Best regards.

The government is attempting to exploit anger at tech companies to pass a law that intentionally undermines digital security (eff.org/deeplinks/2020…), and censors speech. That such a law is even being considered by Congress is a national disgrace.

I felt like picking Afghanistan up by its ankles and shaking it until all the terrorists fell out, like scorpions from a boot. Most Americans felt that way, in the autumn of 2001, and I was no different. I was 18 years old, and almost competitively wrong. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/kabul

Today I learned that if you're a sports reporter, you probably shouldn't heckle @johncusack at a game, because he's apparently a walking encyclopedia of baseball history and it will end in a video of you getting wheeled out on a stretcher. twitter.com/chron/status/1…

“...The government had access to my private emails and were sharing them with Congress and leaking them to the media. I felt invaded by my own government, punished for leading a civil rights organization.”

Wild, I know, but in light of the historic NSA ruling closing the book on the whistleblower question this week, and the fact that Espionage Act charges prohibit a public interest defense, it seems like something local and national campaign reporters might ask of their candidates. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

It is a tremendous indictment of our system that no President of either party cared to address this historically harsh sentence for a single count of whistleblowing. She had to make it through without them -- and even despite them. Respect.

“It is my wish that none of the letters written by me during my lifetime shall be published.”
Hemingway—and so many others—in the days before every action and utterance was irrevocably appended to the Permanent Record.

Remember, the EARN IT act is only the latest attack in the government's very long war on encryption. Switzerland's most sensitive communications-security company was secretly run by the CIA. There is nothing these people won't do to stamp out the idea of a private conversation. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

The US government seeks to redefine the soul of good journalism as a heinous criminal conspiracy.

Det er uforståelig for meg at en nasjon som er så geografisk velsignet og politisk sofistikert, da Norge noen gang frivillig ville omfavne infrastrukturen for masseovervåking. Dette forslaget er en forbrytelse mot den liberale tradisjonen.

It is, in a dark way, psychologically reassuring to say, "Oh, everything is monitored and there's nothing I can do. I shouldn't bother." The problem is that it's not true. twitter.com/naomibrockwell…

This, in sum, is our problem: the truest conspiracies meet with the least opposition.

Why not define the political future of a generation based on the mean tweets of 13 to 15 year-olds?
In fact, why stop at 13? There needs to be accountability for what they said as an 8-year old on Xbox Live. Subpoena their dolls!

The text delivered last month to the iPhone 11 made no sound. It produced no image. It offered no warning of any kind as an iMessage from somebody she didn’t know delivered malware directly onto her phone — and past Apple’s security systems. washingtonpost.com/technology/202…
