THIS IS A THREAD:

There is no #CryptOsint this week as author @brenna__smith is taking a break,

But Brenna thought (and we agreed) that it's the perfect opportunity for y’all to catch up on past issues. (Or subscribe: eepurl.com/gHkl6z — if you haven’t already)

@brenna__smith After Telegram had a major crackdown on extremist content, terrorists looked for a new home online and, for a moment, groups flocked to BCM, which is marketed as the “blockchain WeChat."

#CryptOsint broke the story.

@brenna__smith #CryptOsint also spends a lot of time covering the crypto-sphere in China.

Over two newsletters, Brenna interviewed Hong Kong protestors: Watchdog group @GreatFireChina & former Occupy Wall Street leader @beingMicahWhite on the relationship between crypto and activism.
