@FactPush @HansMahncke Wow, literally every part of that statement is incorrect. That's actually quite difficult to manage. Bravo. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@cryptoingmar Yes, and one day you will accept that so did he. One does not "accidentally" hide little stashes of classified documents in basically every location they've ever visited unless they are either bending the rules or a particularly acquisitive raccoon. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@fred_guenther Oh, for sure man. It was all taken home inadvertently, including those documents from way back during my time in the Senate. Hard to believe I could fail to realize I absconded with so much over the years, but these things happen. Thank goodness it was discovered and reported. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

I recall that the Department of Justice was somewhat less generous when I self-reported, even after I went to the trouble of doing so on the front page of every major newspaper in the world. s m h — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@d0m96 @PLT_cheater @elonmusk Too simplistic imo, bc it doesn't account for *governments'* incentives and disincentives. Right now, they can shake down platform to break momentum and movements, derank scandals, & hide stories. That has the *opposite* effect if people can alt+tab and see the post trending. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@d0m96 @PLT_cheater @elonmusk Nostr is a protocol, not a platform. Anybody can make their own front end. So when Twitter hides something, it only hides it *on Twitter*. Everywhere else on Nostr, it effectively draw attention to it. This disincentivizes governments from making political censorship demands. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@PLT_cheater @elonmusk No. Mastodon is a federated platform: a collection of silos, each controlled by a diff dictator. #Nostr is a protocol, like a river. Anyone can toss anything in the water (from fish-castle to boot). It's up to each glass-bottomed boat-captain what they want to look at—or not. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@PLT_cheater @elonmusk Today, internet businesses need to be looking at user-generated content as a liability, not an asset. The first movers to (honestly) show governments their company *legitimately* lacks the ability to unilaterally delete inconvenient speech from the internet will benefit. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@PLT_cheater @elonmusk Governments will still come whine or scratch at the door to hide this or that, but it no longer becomes a gigantic political controversy, because Twitter can only hide a Nostr post on their side, not expunge it from every other Nostr client. Basically, Twitter can pass the buck. — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@PLT_cheater @elonmusk Twitter's core political problem is liability for content they exclusively control. By moving user-generated content to the Nostr protocol (and getting encrypted DMs for free), while retaining control of their own front-end experience, government must go chase somebody else. — PolitiTweet.org

.@ElonMusk really shouldn't be fighting #Nostr, since it's just about the only thing that can save his business. The fate of the old platform model over the next decade is clear. (cf. Daniel 5:5) https://t.co/yIrS6bJuFn — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

@_rdonahue Fair, but I was addressing in the original tweet the mistaken claims that "intent" is the core concern here, which doesn't matter in the relevant portions of either (e) or (f). Regardless, we can both stop pretending the text of the statute matters. This is 99% politics, 1% law. — PolitiTweet.org

If you work at the CIA or NSA, don't let a security officer write you up for failing to secure a document within the safe. Instead, inform them that recent policy demonstrates that DOJ may accept your home, corvette, random college, or underwear drawer as an approved container. — PolitiTweet.org

@GerberKawasaki Not even the United States government alleges that, my poorly-read friend. I gave my documents to journalists -- whose reporting won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. There's a book about it, should you consider reacquainting yourself with reading: https://t.co/JS1AJ6QTMO — PolitiTweet.org

Edward Snowden @Snowden

How is it possible that I have fewer classified documents in my house than the last few White House admins? The Espionage Act is a "strict liability" crime: good intentions are no defense. Under the (dumb) law, these guys are all unindicted criminals. https://t.co/KNIRJz2M0X — PolitiTweet.org
