""#Unmasking" probe commissioned by #Barr concludes without charges or any public report" 🤷‍♂️😤🙄🖕 washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"Even if it ultimately produced no results of consequence, legal analysts said, it allowed Trump and other conservatives to say Obama-era officials were under scrutiny, as long as the case stayed active." washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"From early on in the Trump administration, some GOP lawmakers have sought to investigate and highlight Obama-era unmasking requests, believing them to be inappropriate. The effort was initially pushed in part by Rep. Devin Nunes..." 🤦‍♂️🙄 washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"In May, Republican Sens. Ron Johnson (Wis.), Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) and Rand Paul (Ky.) breathed new life into the effort, releasing a list of those who had made unmasking requests." washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

"Ich wünschte", sagt Silicon-Valley-Investor und Facebook-Kritiker Roger McNamee, "wir könnten die ganzen Plattformen von jetzt bis zur Amtseinsetzung des Präsidenten im Januar einfach komplett ausschalten. Weg damit für eine Weile. Weg mit dem Lärm." 👍🔥

"Die sozialen Medien - und das Zerrbild, das sie erzeugen - sind zur realen Gefahr für die demokratischen Prozesse und Institutionen der USA geworden. Das glauben keineswegs nur die üblichen Kritiker."

"Der Mann, Steven Carrillo, war kein linker Plünderer, sondern ein Rechtsterrorist, ein Anhänger der "Boogaloo"-Bewegung, die sich teilweise über Facebook organisiert hat und einen neuen amerikanischen Bürgerkrieg herbeiführen will."

Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt unfassbar grauenhaft und schäbig, was da gerade stattfindet.
#HunterBiden

#Giuliani und #Bannon als treibende Kräfte. Was für absolut widerwärtige "Menschen".

Ich weiss auch nicht, wie man "Wahlkampf" noch ekelhafter betreiben kann.
#BidenHarris2020
Was mich auch massiv abturned (und verwundert bzw. enttäuscht), ist die Tatsache, dass hier @bellingcat-Mitglieder aktiv daran mitwirken, die betreffenden Inhalte trotz der "Schutzmaßnahmen" von @Twitter zugänglich zu machen.

Ich bin der Meinung, dass das kontraproduktiv ist.
Der Schaden ist unwiderruflich angerichtet - die Biden-Kampagne ist gezwungen, sich dazu zu äussern. 🤷‍♂️

Important 👇🔥👍

"We hope these recommendations—based on decades of research into electoral processes, news coverage, and public opinion—support the important work journalists are doing to cover the election and safeguard democracy."

"When voters and election administrators are the protagonists of election coverage, the public wins.
... covering the horse race... rarely contains substantive information voters can use to make decisions at the polls."
mediafordemocracy.org
"In 2016 research revealed that Donald Trump not only received the most news attention, but the type of coverage he received likely benefited his campaign—and data shows the same thing is happening this election cycle."

"The fact that #Emic was able to rise from the ashes of #SCL while the #CambridgeAnalytica and SCL debacle was still under investigation shows that governments have not learned the lessons of 2016." occrp.org/en/37-ccblog/c…
@EmmaLBriant: "Governments are failing us. Such firms continue to provide training, or engage directly, in tactics to influence the behavior of citizens." occrp.org/en/37-ccblog/c…

"...the training Canadian military staff received is a direct descendent of #SCLGroup’s “behavioural dynamics methodology” which promises to help military clients analyze and profile groups to find best strategy to influence target audience’s behaviour."🔥 ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…
"The Canadian contracts were awarded to Emic Consulting, a British firm.

Emic’s director, Gaby van den Berg, previously worked with #SCL. She stressed in an email to this newspaper that her company uses science-based techniques to help NATO militaries..." ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…
"In June, NRC Handelsblad, the top newspaper in the Netherlands, revealed Dutch military personnel were also receiving similar training on how to influence populations. That prompted concerns about the ethics of using such training..." ottawacitizen.com/news/national/…
