What Israel has just done is, via *any* method, reckless. They blew up countless numbers of people who were driving (meaning cars out of control), shopping (your children are in the stroller standing behind him in the checkout line), et cetera. Indistinguishable from terrorism.

@Snowden - Edward Snowden

As information comes in about the exploding beepers in Lebanon, it seems now more likely than not to be implanted explosives, not a hack. Why? Too many consistent, very serious injuries. If it were overheated batteries exploding, you'd expect many more small fires & misfires.

EU apparatchiks aim to sneak a terrifying mass surveillance measure into law despite UNIVERSAL public opposition (no thinking person wants this) by INVENTING A NEW WORD for it—"upload moderation"—and hoping no one learns what it means until it's too late. Stop them, Europe!

@mer__edith - Meredith Whittaker

📣Official statement: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding. Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/upload-moderation.pdf https://t.co/3L1hqbBRgq

The intersection of AI with the ocean of mass surveillance data that's been building up over the past two decades is going to put truly terrible powers in the hands of an unaccountable few.

I've been warning Bitcoin developers for ten years that privacy needs to be provided for at the protocol level. This is the final warning. The clock is ticking.

Remember the expansion of warrantless spying that Biden rammed through Congress and signed into law a week ago despite public outcry? That the FBI had already used to spy on Americans more than 278,000 times? You'll never guess what he's using right now against student protests:

The House has voted to approve unconstitutional, warrantless searches of Americans' communications. Now the Senate has too—late on Friday, after the media had gone home. Only the President can stop it from becoming law, and he won't—because he's the one that asked for it. 🦅🇺🇸

The most important video of the year was filmed in 1983. The government sued Snepp in a case that went to the Supreme Court, ruling that intelligence workers had to submit any statement for censorship, even those unrelated to secrets. Thanks to @BankerWeimar for the ongoing memes that led to the search for old interviews of former CIA employees sued into silence.

@Snowden - Edward Snowden

The most important video of the year was filmed in 1983.

Video Transcript AI Summary
I briefed the press as an analyst and interrogator for the CIA, circulating disinformation to influence public opinion. I targeted influential journalists like Robert Chaplin and Kais Beach, planting false information to support US interests in Vietnam. I would also mislead reporters by briefing diplomats to provide false confirmation. Despite my involvement, I now oppose these propaganda tactics, believing they serve no purpose for the CIA.

Speaker 0: You briefed the press, did you not, when you were there? Well, I had several jobs. One of my jobs was that of analyst. I also was an interrogator and indeed briefed the press when we, the CIA, wanted to circulate disinformation on a particular issue. Disinformation is not necessarily, not necessarily a lie. It may be a half truth, And we would pick out a journalist. I would go do the briefing and hope that he would put the information in print. For instance, if we wanted to get across to the American public, that the North Vietnamese were building up their force structure in South Vietnam, I would go to a journalist and advise him that in the past, 6 months, x number of North Vietnamese forces had come down the Ho Chi Minh Trail System through southern Laos. Now, there is no way a journalist can check that information. So either he goes with the information or he doesn't and ordinarily or usually, the journalists would go with it, because it looked like some kind of exclusive. And I would say our percentage planning that kind of data was 70 to 80%. The correspondence we targeted were those who had terrific influence, the most respected journalists in Saigon, like Robert Chaplin of the New Yorker Magazine, Kais Beach, the Los Angeles Times from time to time and also he worked for the Chicago Daily News, Bud Merrick of U. S. News and World Report, Malcolm Brown of The New York Times, even Maynard Parker of Newsweek Magazine. We would go after these gentlemen. I would be directed to cultivate them, to spend time with them at the Caravel Hotel or the Continental Hotel, to socialize with them and slowly but surely to try to gain their confidence by dialing out valid information, information which was true, and then I would drop in into a conversation the data that we wanted to get across which might not be true. One piece of data, for instance, that we managed to plan in the New Yorker magazine had to do with a supposed North Vietnamese effort in 1973 to develop airfields along the border of South Vietnam. The reason we wanted to plant this information was that we were trying to persuade the US Congress that Saigon should be continued to should continue to get a great deal of aid and that the North Vietnamese were the chief violators of the ceasefire accord. That was printed in the New Yorker magazine under the byline of Robert Chaplin, as indeed was a great deal of such information, which which we're trying to circulate. If I planted a piece of information with a reporter, I would ordinarily then try to create an environment in which he could not check the information. I would go to the British ambassador and brief him on the disinformation I had just given the reporter. So when the reporter wanted to cross check what I told him with, say, the British ambassador, New Zealand ambassador or what have you, He would get false confirmation, the same message coming back at him and he'd say, I've got proof that Frank Snapp told me the truth, when in fact what he'd gotten was simply an echo of what I'd given him in the first place via a British ambassador or other of our friendly diplomatic contacts. I am, as an ex CIA agent, opposed to the disinformation activities in which I was involved. I admit that I was involved and I think it served no useful purpose Propagandizing the American public or Congress is not the CIA's job.

The entire thing is much longer, but *entirely* worth the watch. The government sued Snepp in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, which ruled intelligence workers had to submit any statement for censorship, even those unrelated to secrets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwerBZG83YM

The US seeks to destroy Al Qaeda by sneaking bombs into every foreign high-rise where they suspect an operative secretly lives—but each attempt levels the building, killing a hundred innocents too. How many innocents is it OK to knowingly kill in pursuit of the policy objective?

The footage reveals targeted strikes on unarmed and wounded individuals, contradicting claims of "mistakes." The ICJ's genocide ruling against Israel explicitly forbids such behavior. The ease and automation of these killings are concerning, as officials may soon use crude algorithms to determine who lives and dies. This video sheds light on a future where such crimes may go unnoticed. It is a reminder to care about our own tomorrow. This is not acceptable.

@Snowden - Edward Snowden

Everyone in the world needs to see this. Note that this footage permits no room for "it was a mistake," showing repeated, specifically-targeted strikes on the unarmed and even wounded. The sort of behavior the ICJ explicitly forbid in the genocide ruling against Israel.

@Snowden - Edward Snowden

You need to understand that the technical capability behind such killings is becoming increasingly easy to achieve—and increasingly automated. Soon enough, an official will drag their finger across a map, and anyone judged by a crude algorithm to have crossed that line will die.

@Snowden - Edward Snowden

Yes, this is an outrageous crime. But if not for this video, no one would have even known that it happened. This is a glimpse of this world's future. Even if you care nothing for Israel-Palestine, take a moment to care for your own tomorrow. This is not okay.

Netanyahu nurtured a zillion-dollar industry selling spying tools to despots that use them to break into the iPhones of critics, elected opponents, human rights lawyers, and even students (these are all real examples).
