The Trump "social network" terms of service are something to behold.

A sampling:
Don't tell the boss...
Don't use the site to do what is the reason we created it...
No Freedom of Speech is allowed on the freedom of speech site, as it pertains to Dear Leader or his site.
Whatever your ideas...we own them...and you have no recourse.
We claim immunity from all lawsuits...
We're not liable, even we we know we were liable.
If anything goes wrong, we owe you the lesser of any amount...or 1 cent.
:)
Just to be clear, you can't hold us or anyone accountable, for anything
Yeah, we're going to lose your data...

Many of my national security colleagues are filled with deep angst this week over what the Afghan withdrawal means for the future of US power.

I feel the same way, but in looking at the events of 2021 at home.
The insurrection of January 6, a major political party turning on science to effectively aid and abet a deadly pandemic, and now Supreme Court going to bizarre lengths to ignore the Constitution for a minority political ideology (private citizen bounty hunting abortion…what?)
This all is the midst of a concerted push to pull voting rights from certain minorities swing voters to lock in power in key electoral states and a false political conspiracy theory about a stolen election moving from the extreme to accepted “truth” among 40% of the population.

So many policy wonks and Senators want to talk things like number of Navy ships,
but this is as much or more of a weakness in our strategic competition with China
1) Our science advantage was utterly crucial advantage in every aspect (military, economic, cultural etc) of Cold War. Undermined now
2) a major party divorcing from basic science (and thus reality) undermines every policy, from weapons to energy to climate to health to cyber etc
Think of the longterm, strategic loss we’ve suffered by one political party deciding to argue the elementary school level basic science of a greenhouse effect or how a virus spread.

I obviously love warships, but that mattered far more than a few more LCS.

Excited to share with you a major new report from myself and a team of education+ technology experts on what we can do about mis/disinfo:

Teaching Cyber Citizenship:

Bridging Education and National Security to Build Resilience to New Online Threats
newamerica.org/education-poli… Image
The online world has been a crucial tool for education and connection, especially during the pandemic. But it has also spread a new kind of threat. Viral misinformation, deliberately spread disinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate speech run rampant.
The resulting problems have harmed everything from our democracy, culminating in the events of January 6th, to our public health, where an “infodemic” of false information about COVID continues to cost lives and hurt vaccination efforts.

Some thoughts on yet another right wing online/media mob going after military service member:
1) Always important to identify the players and their history. Today's episode is brought Breitbart's Pentagon reporter, elevating the fellow who helped bring you Pizzagate and multiple other conspiracy theories, as well as has repeatedly elevated Russian info ops
2) We covered this sad player and the tactics in #LikeWar book.

Frankly, it is boring to me to see people still playing this game, as if we don't see through it now. What worked in 2016 doesn't now. Sorry.

DHS Inspector General finds at least 348 cases where Trump forced migrant parents to leave the U.S. without their children
apnews.com/article/az-sta…

This directly confirms that Kirstjen Nielsen, now trying to cash in on her role at DHS with cyber $, was a liar.
Nielsen testified to Congress in December 2018 that “every parent” who was deported had a choice to take their child back to their country and those who did not “made the choice not to have the child accompany them.”
She also told Congress in March 2019 that there has been “no parent who has been deported, to my knowledge, without multiple opportunities to take their children with them.”
