Laura Poitras just received her 3rd Oscar nomination for Best Documentary, for her film about anti-Sackler activism and opioids. A frontrunner to win, it'd be her 2nd Oscar (after CitizenFour). It's hard to find many people with accomplishments that match hers. Congrats, Laura! — PolitiTweet.org

Given that a huge number of liberals only began paying attention to politics in 2016, they have no idea what the @ACLU always used to be, see it as a standard Dem/lib advocacy group, and thus are always shocked on the rare occasions they return to their roots. https://t.co/yDYIW436o5 — PolitiTweet.org

@umairh @ACLU I find you one of the most hateful people on this forum, and I'm not alone. Your utterances are full of rage and a sadistic desire to see people you disagree with destroyed. I don't think you'd fare well under standards that ban "hate speech." Be grateful the 1 Am protects it. — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with blockchain solutions is they're still in the future. Reflexive left/liberal opposition to it is bizarre since that's what allows Modi to do this. Until then, only a union of Twitter/Google/FB/TikTok, etc. can stop it. Rumble/Telegram can't do it alone: https://t.co/9RhBRhRepZ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I should add: the other way to prevent this power in the hands of governments to censor the internet is decentralization through blockchain. It's what @Jack has been urging. Mastadon tried it but it's a mess. We interviewed @TBSocialist on this here: https://t.co/kI5Q2YiN4q — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately, there's only way to stop countries - India, China, Brazil, the US, EU - from forcing platforms to censor on command or be threatened with access denial to the country: All have to band together to challenge this. No population will tolerate cut-off from the internet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

To examine this problem -- some people and companies posing as Big Tech opponents while doing nothing -- we examined several new events: * DOJ suit against Google * Crowder/Shapiro conflict * Twitter/FB/YT buckling to Brazil's censorship demands * Rumble's conflict with France. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On last night's @SystemUpdate_, we examined exactly this question: Who pretends to oppose Big Tech censorship for their own aggrandizement, and who actually opposes it? At some point, a *genuine cause* requires sacrifice of self-interest to defend it: https://t.co/cEVs2ZqZQm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The ability of India to force Twitter and YouTube to ban a documentary - upon threat of blocking the platforms from the country - is a huge threat. But it's happening everywhere. Rumble is blocked in France because it refuses to censor RT. Brazil is about to block Telegram. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThiagoGViana @leandrocunha99 Não disse que todos os especialistas brasileiros concordam comigo. Muitos defendem Moraes. Mas todos os artigos sobre o debate - no NYT, AP, WashPost, Folha, meu - citam especialistas alertando sobre os perigos dos poderes de Moraes e a falta de devido processo legal. Te mostrei. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThiagoGViana No VazaJato, consultei com juristas e especialistas jurídicos brasileiros antes da primeira palavra ser publicada: como faço com todo o meu jornalismo. Já fiz o mesmo sobre Moraes. Claro que muitos juristas brasileiros defendem Moraes, mas muitos não. Não inventei essas críticas. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThiagoGViana Essa foi a mesma crítica durante a #VazaJato dos defensores de Moro: eu estava importando uma visão americana, onde é proibido a juízes e procuradores falarem em segredo, e que eu não entendia o sistema brasileira. Além disso: muitas especialistas brasileiras concordam comigo.👇 https://t.co/n5CHoZlJ5P — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@leandrocunha99 @ThiagoGViana Esse tipo de crítica é tão condescendente e barato. Tb é bizarro: nunca ouvi isso durante todos aqueles anos em que fiz reportagens sobre o LJ. Mas como explica todos os especialistas jurídicos do Brasil expressando as mesmas preocupações? Eles tb estão usando a lei americana? — PolitiTweet.org

@ThiagoGViana Se é verdade que não tenho "cacife para discutir a Constituição e a lei penal e processual penal brasileira," pq vc me aplaudia quando passei anos discutindo isso: durante minhas reportagens sobre a LJ? Só agora que minhas opiniões são diferentes descobriu minha incompetência? https://t.co/p2fbGgNzPa — PolitiTweet.org

How NBC and its "experts" radically and fundamentally changed how they talk about classified document leaks as soon as it went from Trump to Biden: https://t.co/wWgE370khr — PolitiTweet.org

@mb_vinicios1 @1formel @alexandre Quando me opus à forma como Sergio Moro conduziu a Lava Jato - mesmo que o STF e Alexandre de Moraes aprovaram - e quando me opus ao impeachment de Dilma (mesmo que o Congresso, Alckmin e o STF aprovaram), eu tb estava sendo imperialista? Não me lembro da esquerda dizendo isso. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mb_vinicios1 @1formel @alexandre Não respondeu. As pessoas ao redor do mundo deveriam desconsiderar suas opiniões pq nasceu privilegiado em um país com racismo estrutural e essa história de escravidão? Eu não julgo as pessoas assim. Então, quero saber como isso deve afetar a maneira como os outros te julgam? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mb_vinicios1 @1formel @alexandre Eu acho que o Brasil tem racismo estrutural. Eu disse isso antes. Foi também o último país a abolir a escravidão. Você é pessoalmente culpado por isso e as pessoas no mundo todo deveriam ignorar todos os seus argumentos desde que você nasceu naquele país? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As we noted earlier, Telegram appealed the censorship order of Brazil's notorious judge aimed at a Congressman, and refused to comply pending appeal. So the Brazilian judge fined Telegram R$ 1 million and threatened more if they don't immediately censor. https://t.co/GoziGUzxQ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Following our program, I'll speak to @TuckerCarlson on Fox about the growing censorship controversies in Brazil and how they effect -- and they do! -- a free internet throughout the West. Read this new, very good @AP story about all of this, from today: https://t.co/VCs9u4cjPT — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Starting LIVE in 5 minutes... We'll examine the not-necessarily-simple but definitely vital question of who is really attempting to subvert Big Tech's stranglehold over our discourse, and who is fraudulently pretending to for their own aggrandizement: https://t.co/cEVs2ZqZQm — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThomColeman @SystemUpdate_ We're not talking to him. We're talking about the dispute in which he was recently involved that helps highlight the question of how one can subvert Big Tech while still needing to use its platforms. But sometimes journalists do talk to people with whom they disagree. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThomColeman @SystemUpdate_ What does that have to do with my program tonight? Are you under the impression that we've hired Ben Shapiro as a journalist on our program or that we're asking him on tonight to report on or analyze issues of the day? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ThomColeman @SystemUpdate_ Explain in your words what point you think you're making. — PolitiTweet.org
