[VIOLENT FOOTAGE] I could go on posting about guns at the #January6th insurrection...
But don't be distracted by the "no guns" lie from the absolute wave of violence that was visited upon the #Capitol & DC police using every available weapon.

IMPORTANT: has @Apple sent you a mercenary spyware threat notification?
Latest round just went out.
Take them seriously. Get expert help.
If you a journalist, activist, dissident etc. I suggest you ✅contact @accessnow's helpline. 1/ accessnow.org/help/
2/ In my experience, @Apple's mercenary spyware threat notifications do several things:
✅ Help users take action to secure themselves
✅ Impose cost on spyware companies & customers
✅ Keep us researchers busy investigating cases
They can also have a✅deterrent effect.
@Apple 3/ I never tire of saying that @apple threat notifications have helped to change the information balance between spyware victims & those that target them.
They have also kicked off waves of scandals & discoveries of spyware abuses. Like in #Poland👇
2/ The investigation behind this Russian political interference takedown is interesting.
First, the @FBI got account registration info for a slice of fake accounts on @X
They found a lot of email accounts registered on the same server.
So they went to the registrar...
@FBI @X 3/ While the domain registrar (Namecheap) had a bunch of account registration information for the @FBI, the info was a fake name and some alias information.
Strike out? No. The FBI began a subpoena cascade, starting with the Google account used to register the domain.
