THREAD: A deep dive into Iranian opposition social media chatter about tomorrow’s #WarsawSummit on the Middle East
2/ The summit is largely viewed as a US bid to deter other nations from cooperating with Iran. Anti-establishment chatter has used the hashtag #WeSupportPolandSummit
3/ Analysis of more than 14,000 tweets from last month which used #WeSupportPolandSummit, found that the majority of posts originated from just 8 accounts.
4/ The desired effect appears to be to artificially create a trend which hints at popular support for the summit and - by extension - widespread resentment towards the Iranian establishment.
5/ This research is part of a wider investigation into opposition social media activity by Iranians. Watch this space for further insights. trib.al/Q55dpge

#BrexitVote – the view from Europe (Thread)
Germany's Die Welt: “After the defeat, everything is possible again"
France's Le Monde: “The scale of the defeat, more stinging than the most alarming predictions, means that tinkering will not be sufficient to change MPs’ opinions, as the prime minister had hoped.”

#Thread on Trump, Pompeo and Pence's irresponsible banalization of the words "Genocide" and "Holocaust" at the State of the Union address (#SOTU) , the #WarsawSummit and #MSC2019.
1) Raphael Lemkin, known as the father of the Genocide Convention, rejected the terms "Barbarity", "Mass murder", "Denationalization", "Germanization", "Magyarization" and many others to depict Hitler's attempt to annihilate the Jewish population.
2) He wanted a word that would - according to @AmbPower44 in her book "A Problem from Hell" - "connote a practice so horrid and so irreparable that the very utterance of the word would galvanize all who heard it". To Lemkin words mattered. So he came up with the word "Genocide".

#THREAD - Mais qui en veut à @CecileDuflot sur @TwitterFrance ? En début d'am l'ex-ministre, aujourd'hui DG d'@oxfamfrance, a relayé un screen de tweets à son égard particulièrement violents. Or, les publications la menaçant sont toutes les mêmes. D'où provient l'attaque ? 🤔 🔽
En tout, on peut relever 20 tweets interpellant Cécile Duflot construits sur le même modèle. Un vrai pattern en somme du type :

@ de la personne ciblée + phrase d'injures.
Au niveau des sources d'émission, tous les tweets proviennent de "Twitter Web Client", donc on aurait affaire à de vrais gens qui publient ces tweets. Rien de scripté via l'API ou de programmé avec des services type IFTTT.

Premier indice ▶️ cela ressemble à une ferme de trolls.

#Thread Now is NOT the time for ridiculous partisan chicanery or fighting amongst ourselves. We have multiple emergent threats: RU, China, DPRK, & IRAN, not to mention the Terrorist problem in the Middle East. We are at a critical aperture defenseone.com/threats/2019/0… via @defenseone
2.) In our Nation's Geopolitical future. We should be taxing ourselves as much as humanly possible so that we may achieve some mission critical goals. We MUST upgrade our National infrastructure-if we don't bring our Grid & infrastructure into the 21st Century we are in grave
3.) Danger every single day because any one of those Nation States could throw the country into total blackout via cyberattack on our Grid & SCADA Systems. We have Gov. Offices still running Win XP for God's sakes...A blackout, if done properly could last for a year or more which

#Thread #KeralaFloods Detailed thread to document the historic efforts of various online groups in rescue and relief operations. Trust me, Whatsapp and Google sheets were the powerful weapons we had. Pic: An online control room set by NRKs in house at Abu Dhabi (1/n)
It was the time we truly realised the power of social media and instant messaging services with regard to disaster management. Many were stranded on roof-tops without any other contact to the world other than their mobile phones. Whatsapp brilliantly solved the issue. (2/n)
Before going in detail let me point out the problem statements. 1) Govt issued some helpline numbers but most of them were busy with numerous calls 2) Thousands of SOS requests flooded in social media which were not addressed in a systematic manner, hence turned spams (3/n)

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
