Facebook is a malignant global power destroying liberal democracy - when I said this at TED, it seemed to genuinely shock Silicon Valley.

16 months on, everyone now sees it. But we’re frozen in the headlights. Of what feels like an oncoming freight train
Two people murdered by a white supremacist called to arms by a Facebook post Facebook refused to take down is an ‘operational mistake’.

Genocide. Subverted elections. Holocaust denial. A live-streamed massacre. What evidence do we need?

What is happening on Facebook right now is deeply chilling. We only know what we do thanks to detailed committed reporting by @juliacarriew @BrandyZadrozny @kevinroose @donie @JaneLytv & many more. But the world has failed to act. I dread what happens next

The ICO's investigation into Cambridge Analytica was genuinely ground-breaking. See below: 'Data crimes are real crimes.' We've been hanging on for the final report. But today, we learned it will not come. Why?? It's deeply odd. Has the @ico been sat on?

This was a difficult, highly politically charged subject to investigate. And it was bold & brave to take it on. We've witnessed abject resistance to tackle politically sensitive matters from other bodies, most notably the Met police. So this is especially disappointing.
The Senate Intelligence Report last week said that it did not have access to evidence from the UK authorities. And it presumably means we will now never know any more about this? The accessing of files from 'IP addresses in Russia & other areas of the CIS'.

Bit baffled by this. None of us knew he was missing. Also, what operation? Also, you’re reporting this not as rumour or a ‘source’ but as fact meaning..it’s confirmed? From number 10? You went to them or it was deliberately leaked? If so, why without attribution? Why now?
Not my intention to be rude, FYI. It just seems like we’re only getting half the facts here. You must have asked, ‘what kind of op?’ Unless you already knew? If you don’t know, fine. And if you know & are not divulging for privacy reasons, fine. But can’t you say which?
And if this has been strategically leaked to you, can’t you say? Or if it’s not been strategically leaked, can’t you say? It makes a difference. And you know. But you’re not letting on. So it creates this weird situation where we have partial info but without context..

It was bollocks at the time. It’s still bollocks now. In all seriousness, how are we meant to take public health advice from these people?
It was a lie. That’s what @Jeremy_Hunt established. It wasn’t ‘inappropriate’, it was that we didn’t have capacity. But she didn’t say that

Schools would be safe. If we had functioning test & trace system. We don’t. That what she’s not saying this time
