These new investigations, targeting sites blocked inside #China, are relying on sophisticated technological methods to expand the reach of #Chinese authorities & the list of targets"

"To hunt people, [#PRC] security forces use advanced investigation #software, #PublicRecords & #databases to find all their #PersonalInformation & international #SocialMedia presence.

Good morning. I'm sitting in on the first of two #publicrecords hearings this morning. The first is in my lawsuit seeking records related to Josh Malcolm from UNC-P, where the NCSBE is asking to join the suit to continue blocking my access... #ncpol
The second hearing this morning is a lawsuit in which WBTV and a coalition of more than two dozen media outlets sued for access to COVID records. In that case, the state continues withholding a number of documents related to how it's handled the pandemic #ncpol
Currently, a lawyer for @NCAGO representing NCSBE is arguing I couldn't ask for records Josh Malcolm created using his UNC-P phone and email that related to election business #ncpol
