What's crazy isn't how people keep using the internet to shake things up; what's crazy is why we keep acting surprised when the internet does what it was built to do. — PolitiTweet.org

To digital natives, GameStop is the obvious outcome of a technology that disintermediates and democratizes by design. The fact that some people find the GameStop thing shocking is a sign of how little they've been paying attention. — PolitiTweet.org

I've been writing a piece on GameStop but every time I think I'm done some wild new twist happens. The hardest thing about these kinds of stories is conveying to normal people, like, just how *internety* all of this is. — PolitiTweet.org

Silicon Valley’s @RepRoKhanna weighs in on $GME: “This entire episode has demonstrated the power of technology to democratize access to American financial institutions … [and] how the cards are stacked against the little guy in favor of billionaire Wall Street Traders." https://t.co/oL8n9gFfJo — PolitiTweet.org

But the piece overall sparks a really important conversation about the US role in shaping international norms around cyber conflict and how policymakers have not made themselves publicly accountable for the protocols that determine when we go to cyberwar. — PolitiTweet.org

@OKnox Yes, exactly! — PolitiTweet.org

So for people to be going around saying, "yeah, maybe the SolarWinds thing really could be considered an act of war," is extremely troublesome for the wing of the Pentagon that understands escalation here is not to our benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Second, and related, is that many experts, many even former military, explain that the country is not ready for an all-out conflict in cyberspace. https://t.co/hYigmyebZa https://t.co/VyHjxEhCkx — PolitiTweet.org

Right now the informal consensus is, "if it didn't cause physical harm similar to, say, a bomb going off, then it isn't an act of war." Obviously lots of gray area in what you can define as harm. But it gets even messier when you expand that to include *potential* for harm. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

TL;DR Vindman argues that perhaps the mere capability to cause damage with a given cyber intrusion might be enough to warrant the "act of war" label. IMO this opens up a big can of worms. https://t.co/obi3gilfaa — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

Speaking of @lawfareblog, this is a really deep and nuanced piece (from a familiar name) about whether the SolarWinds thing can be described as an act of war. Highly recommended, though I think I disagree in small parts. https://t.co/leSJJL9mB1 — PolitiTweet.org
