How did we get here?

The world's major press protection groups sent a joint letter to Biden's DOJ demanding an end to reckless case against Julian Assange--a case that criminalizes the sort of journalism you read every week in the newspaper. twitter.com/FreedomofPress…

Don't tell me @telegram didn't know about the scam-ring running this account, either: they were contacted by the media about it ages ago, which even wrote a story about it.
What did @telegram do when asked for comment? They refused to even respond! twitter.com/MikaelThalen/s…

So:
@telegram knows the below account is an impersonator, and I don't have an account with them.
But they let this guy continue to post insane garbage—as "Official_EdwardSnowden"—and even a swastika, which Telegram has served to over 80,000 views.
Great job, guys. Just super. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

"Maybe I should just ask the CIA what to think" is extremely 2021. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Have you ever looked at who is behind these new for-profit "fact-checking" companies?
"NewsGuard" is "advised" by one of the country's most famous liars—the man who secretly built the global mass surveillance system that, once uncovered, courts condemned as an outrageous crime.

No, I don't use Wickr. The point is that in 2021, you can't credibly purport to provide a secure app when you
a) take money from the CIA and
b) literally give the CIA a seat on your board of directors.

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…
