Twitter has banned doxxing - and threats of doxxing.

This is long overdue… Why now, after allowing it for years?

Way too many people here have been victims of this.
The policy as written leaves a lot of room for selective enforcement.

Can/will this be used to target important OSINT work?

Considering the platform’s previous biases, it is a little concerning.
What about sharing photos of Ghislaine Maxwell, showing who she was with at private parties?

Will that be a bannable offense now, @TwitterSupport?
Cathie Wood’s Ark Investments bought over 1 million shares in Twitter Tuesday after Jack Dorsey stepped down.

Wood is known to hold Bible study meetings and figures into what some refer to as the “faith in finance” movement"

“one of Wall Street’s hottest hands of late, Cathie Wood of Ark Investments. Like Hwang, Wood is known to hold Bible study meetings and figures into what some refer to as the “faith in finance” movement.”

This is in addition to GOP megadonor Paul Singer’s big investment in Twitter last year.
Another enforcement of twitter’s new private media policy.
As expected, Neo-Nazis are now organizing to mass report accounts who expose them:

“Due to the new privacy policy at Twitter, things now unexpectedly work more in our favor.”
More background, and specific examples of which accounts - and what kinds of content - are being targeted, in this running thread by @chadloder:
At least Twitter seems to be suspending accounts that make multiple false reports.

That still doesn’t address the deeply flawed, subjectively enforced policy itself.
Another example.

This was all very predictable.

Without significant changes to this policy and the way it is enforced, this site is going to become more unreliable for independent researchers and journalists who want to document extremist behavior.
Listen to this (interesting thread as well):

For anyone who isn't familiar with the Pegasus spyware (produced by NSO) that Flynn is connected to, below is a thread with a lot of information about it. It has been used by authoritarian regimes to target journalists and dissidents.

Flynn worked for an NSO subsidiary in 2016.
Flynn's paramilitary group, 1st Amendment Praetorians, who were involved with the insurrection (and whose leader, Roert Patrick Lewis, was recently subpoenaed by the @January6thCmte) also claims to have a leading specialist in the Pegasus spyware.

Nearly a month after Trump took office, Flynn belatedly updated his financial statement, where he disclosed that he had been working for OSY Tech - a subsidiary of NSO, who makes the Pegasus phone hacking spyware - since May, 2016.

For anyone who has been tracking Flynn Org’s role in the psy ops and irregular warfare surrounding Jan 6, and following the work of @visionsurreal, this claim by Lin Wood is particularly interesting.

It lends credence to the idea that Flynn has been manipulating a lot of folks.
This in no way exonerates Wood, or anyone else, for all of the anti-democratic ops they have participated in - and are still participating in.

It is simply another data point suggesting that Flynn’s team has been running their own psy-ops against MAGA’s influencers.
Just to clarify, the messages above were posted by David Clements, and Lin Wood forwarded them.

Opus Dei targets girls as young as 12, promising them an education.

They are then taught how to cook, clean, and do household chores as they work 12 hour days without breaks.

Some are trafficked to other countries, off the books, and not registered with social security systems.
“The hierarchy (of Opus Dei) is aware of these practices,” said Sebastián Sal, the women's lawyer. “It is an internal policy of Opus Dei. The search for these women is conducted the same way throughout the world. ... It is something institutional.”

The women's complaint, filed in September with the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, also points to dozens of priests affiliated with Opus Dei for their alleged “intervention, participation and knowledge in the denounced events.”
