TIME paints here a very different picture of the Ukraine crisis, reporting that it is a drive to censor and criminalize the domestic political opposition—a drive encouraged by the White House—that has brought some to believe war is the only option.

1. people who accept climate change and think it is caused by humans
2. people who accept climate change and think it is caused by nature

Let me be clear: export regulations, licensing, and reviews have been in place for years. They did not work, and cannot work.
A moratorium on the trade in intrusion software is the bare minimum for a credible response—mere triage. Anything less and the problem gets worse. twitter.com/Snowden/status…

How else can NSO's country-code targeting prohibition be bypassed? Simple:
1) Target a specially-prepared device *you control* in an eligible country code
2) Forensically capture each exploit stage as it's served to your trap device
3) Reverse it
4) Retarget anyone, anywhere twitter.com/Snowden/status…

Reporters writing on the Apple-NSO story should understand this lawsuit would not be *possible* without the years-long investigations of @citizenlab, who are close to single-handedly responsible for uncovering the bulk of what we know about the NSO group's darkest deeds. twitter.com/jsrailton/stat…

Anybody at Twitter who cares about what advertisers think should not be working at Twitter. Twitter lives or dies based on a single metric: is the most important conversation in the world happening here?

With respect, the docs say the "sequencer nodes" save the hashes (identifiers) produced by scanning people's eyes to your database.
Apple does not, IIRC, catalog raw bio hashes—they're encrypted on-device (via enclave).
The result of Worldcoin's "Phase 1" is an eyeball catalog. twitter.com/sama/status/14…

The @CJR review of post-2016 reporting is long, but important.
The TL;DR conclusion:

ignored denials,
eagerly laundered partisan attacks via "anonymous sources,"
and refuses to reflect on mistakes.
