Great report from Chatham House on online disinformation: chathamhouse.org/publication/on…. I attended the launch event and have three thoughts about those discussions 1/n. First, a lot of emphasis was placed on the way in which technology had changed political discourse "radically in the last few years". 2/n.

Some initial thoughts on the @HumanRightsCtte Right to Privacy and the Digital Revolution report, based on the press release (report link is not working). 1/n. @HumanRightsCtte I am cautious about the "Wild West" metaphor. I know it is popular among some data protection practitioners, though certainly not all. Many major internet services are not located in territories which make enforcement difficult, like the lone Sheriff in the "Wild West". 2/n.
