Oops. @llaurieclarke, that’s unfortunate. A crashing mistake in your very first paragraph. @IndependentSage didn’t organise that summit. 😱 Oh & they’ve never been called ‘iSAGE’. 😱😱 And the letter you refer to wasn’t them either 😱😱😱
This ain’t right either. ‘Activist’, sigh, Cambridge Analytica didn’t ‘break’ in 2016 & I’d love to hear more about this ‘troll army’ 🧐 Oh, & I don’t do ‘media support’ for the group that most definitely isn’t ‘iSAGE’ but if you’d answered my message you could have asked me that
Hello @bmj_latest. You literally footnote the paper yet failed to spot that the lead author *has nothing to do* with Independent SAGE. And that’s literally the opening to your article about how wrong they’ve been 😂
Oops.
Thank God for ‘coincidences’ though.
‘When the names of official SAGE members were eventually published by the UK govt in May 2020, it cancelled coincidentally on the same day as iSAGE’s first official meeting - a coincidence that ISAGE has made much of’
😂😂😂

Whistleblowers need all the support they can get. In the UK, we saw @shahmirUK being outed & destroyed. @chrisinsilico put himself into prolonged legal & personal jeopardy. It is HARD. It is dangerous. And I am grateful & relieved that @FrancesHaugen has the support she needs.
I've been in awe of how impactful the roll-out of @franceshaugen whistleblowing has been & hope it encourages others to follow in her footsteps. gofundme.com/f/facebook-whi…
Adding another FB whistleblower @YaelEisenstat's comments here:
The entire system of science-based policy making in Britain is broken.
And to everyone who’s ever knocked @IndependentSage, allow me to point out that they’ve met twice weekly throughout the pandemic & put their advice directly into the public domain
Nobody in Britain has paid a blind bit of attention to who Deripaska is, the power he wields & the effect he’s had. But read this from US Senate. And understand how deep this rot runs. He ran the Kremlin’s influence ops, it said. And now pays @George_Osborne’s wages
I’m so incredibly DELIGHTED for @mariaressa but I also want to explain why this decision by @NobelPrize is so important at this moment (& why it’s more very bad news for Facebook)
Maria is facing prison in the Philippines for the outrageous charge of ‘cyberlibel’ & she has shown such courage in standing up to Duterte. If you’re new to her work, this is an interview I did with her for @observer in April:
