The change follows mounting criticism by democracy experts who said social media platforms’ labels haven’t done nearly enough in the post-election period. More on that here: https://t.co/OaoCKFExUx — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: Twitter has updated the labels it applies to election misinformation. Now, false claims of election victory will carry labels naming Biden as president-elect, rather than saying the claims are merely “disputed.” The change is live now: https://t.co/9ZeRtDaPQi — PolitiTweet.org

And links it to discredited claims of election fraud, for which Twitter has already labeled the tweet: https://t.co/Sb1tnZt2UZ — PolitiTweet.org

The State Department is among the agencies affected by the suspected Russian hack, two sources tell @jmhansler and @kylieatwood. One congressional aide told them that State’s unclassified network was affected. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s having the bad Orion software installed; There’s hackers who may use that access to monitor a target network; Then there’s the worst case, which is that data may have been accessed or stolen. These are distinct outcomes and we need to be precise in discussing them. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

You’re probably going to see a lot of headlines in the next few days saying that this or that entity was hit. We all need to be very careful about words like “compromise,” “breach,” etc., so we’re all clear on who has actually been affected and in what ways. — PolitiTweet.org

Brian Fung | @[email protected] @b_fung

Just spoke to Dan Dister, the CISO of New Hampshire. He tells me he has not seen any evidence yet from any state so far to suggest an actual data breach has occurred. Many states use SolarWinds and likely had the bad Orion software installed, but that’s not the same as a breach. — PolitiTweet.org

The House's Homeland Security and Oversight committees are formally requesting more information — they’re calling it an “investigation” — from national security officials about the US government hack: https://t.co/igzgwsQqHL https://t.co/KP6knVDjuO — PolitiTweet.org

The states behind today’s lawsuit are reviewing the complaint filed yesterday by Texas, according to a person familiar with the matter, but no decision has been made about whether to join that case. — PolitiTweet.org

So this is worrisome: CISA says the SolarWinds vulnerability is not the only one the hackers used to penetrate victim networks as part of their espionage campaign. There are others. https://t.co/eaypbCqx4Q https://t.co/GZfZQ6cMB2 — PolitiTweet.org
