Sam Bankman-Fried admits robbing ~5 million people, and he's getting puff pieces in the @nytimes.
Daniel Hale is suffering in a dungeon for the "crime" of revealing 9 out of 10 people we kill with drones are mere bystanders.
Justice really is blind.

After years of separation from our parents, my wife and I have no desire to be separated from our SONS.
After two years of waiting and nearly ten years of exile, a little stability will make a difference for my family. I pray for privacy for them—and for us all. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

At the beginning of this year, every press freedom and human rights group in the world that matters called for Biden to drop the charges against Assange. Instead, his Justice Department just doubled down on persecuting him.

When people are like "they gon microchip me to talk to the satellites," I'm like, my man: can you imagine how much people would pay for an unlimited-plan phone you never have to charge? And you think they're just gonna put it in you for free?
You don't even have insurance.

People have been angry at me for a long time for saying the thing they'd rather not hear. It's fine, I'm used to it; but let me tell you: it never gets easier.

Israel just intentionally destroyed press offices in Gaza, giving only one hour's warning. Associated Press President "horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy news organizations in Gaza."
Imagine this was your home:

The recitation of facts is increasingly viewed as political, and even offensive. That is a grim omen.

CNN badly misreported this.
A) This is not a settlement; I didn't agree to it.
B) The judgement from this censorship case is not enforceable while I am in exile, but I've never had that much money anyway.
Better headline: "US could gain up to $5m by pardoning Edward Snowden." twitter.com/CNNPolitics/st…

Your smartphone broadcasts your exact location thousands of times per day to dozens of different companies. Each has the power to follow individuals wherever they go, in near-real time.
That’s not a glitch in the system. It is the system.

Reports that Trump has let himself be bullied out of pardoning Assange, mistakenly believing Senate Republicans won't vote to impeach him if he caves.
Once he's out of power, they're going to vote to impeach him anyway. Which, well——that's one way to be remembered. #Politics

It's *snow secret* you tortured Gul Rahman for weeks at a black site, then chained him naked to a concrete floor until he died in the near-winter cold.
It's *snow secret* that today's CIA Director, Gina Haspel, was then the head of a related torture site.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The only solution is taking platforms out of the moderation game. The content-layer of the internet should be moved to neutral protocols.

Julian Assange is one of the longest-serving political prisoners in the western world. Every level of the case against him has been shot through with corruption and the abuse of process.
People justify it by reciting memes to demonstrate their allegiance.

The "great works" of Bezos-money are ruthlessly unimaginative.
You could construct vertical gardens the size of skyscrapers—in the greatest cities of the world. You could colonize the ocean floor! Nothing is impossible.
But Bezos, Bezos builds a boring baby cruise ship. $500M.
