Please understand that the danger of our metadata and a disinformation ecosystem being at the hands of those who wish us harm goes beyond political memes. As we face this crisis, + search in vain for real leaders and accurate information, think about it. twitter.com/i/events/98536…
There is a reason that this type of thing was export-controlled by the UK as a weapon.
Those of us who have been screaming our heads off about it weren’t doing so because a certain candidate didn’t win. We’ve been doing it because we understand that the evil and its unfettered use of this weapon puts every single one of us at tremendous risk.
As we face this crisis, do you want those who wish us harm to be able to target us according to our movements, our conversations, our physical location, what we’ve eaten, whether and where we’ve received medical care, what kinds of medicine we’re taking, and from where? I don’t.
People that none of us have elected get to decide whether this happens to us or not. 2020 is about whether we allow it to continue, or whether we have someone with know-how and will to stop it.
