This story is coming out right as Trump reannounces candidacy, granting a tailwind, bc the institutional press refused to reckon with it during (or even after) the administration.
I fear they'll continue to ignore it, and so it will become a *nightmare* in the general election. twitter.com/mtaibbi/status…

Roskomnadzor should immediately reverse this dangerous and self-defeating decision.
Just as when they tried (and failed) to block Telegram, efforts to block @torproject won't stop criminals, but it will absolutely hurt ordinary people who depend on it for privacy. This is wrong. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

4) Privacy coins are great, but they're too small and too easy to smother via regulatory actions like de-listing from exchanges. Only Bitcoin has immunity-via-dominance to delisting. It adopting privacy-by-design instantly normalizes financial privacy. Ultima Ratio Cryptum.

For fear of intolerance, many of today's best minds in so-called free, democratic states have stopped trying to say what they think and feel and have fallen silent.

Going as far back as the 1970s, the federal government has prohibited fair trials for any journalist's source charged under the Espionage Act: it strictly forbids the jury from examining if the defendent was right or wrong. Here's what @DanielEllsberg wrote about his trial: twitter.com/ptoemmes/statu…

The depredations of surveillance have become more entrenched, with capabilities that used to be the province of governments now in the hands of private companies, too, which employ them to track, tether us, and attenuate our freedoms. edwardsnowden.substack.com/p/lifting-the-…

CBP abused intelligence databases to trawl through the private lives of 15-20 American journalists in a manner that the Inspector General reported it to the Justice Department as a criminal conspiracy.

Kansas City gets right up to the line of describing Mike Pompeo as "a boot-licking little weasel whose treacherous squeaks are not to be trusted on matters with even the lowest of stakes."
They probably didn't want to defame an animal.
