This is like saying a gun fired autonomously after someone pulled the trigger. Extending the delay between human decisions in programming and machine actions must not break the chain of human accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Notable hat they also targeted Gudkov's family without pretense. Another line crossed, as Putin feels increasingly secure as his transgressions are rewarded, not punished. EU "calls for", summits, & pipelines are music to his ears. — PolitiTweet.org

As Zamyatin wrote, “There are ideas of clay and ideas molded of gold, or of our precious glass. To know the material of which an idea is made, one needs only to let fall upon it a drop of strong acid.” Our strongest acid is freedom of thought. — PolitiTweet.org

"Protecting these principles does not mean putting up with intolerance or promoting hatred, but it does require courage — courage to admit doubt, to challenge others and be challenged." I hope America rises to the challenge. https://t.co/tPgHpPZ9K0 — PolitiTweet.org

Unfortunately, the equal and opposite reaction from the other side was as predictable as the laws of physics. Reflexive contradiction, a chilling of free speech; it's not the right way to respond to the threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

America failed to cope with Trump's assault on truth, from the media and GOP officials who refused to call his lies lies to his supporters who embraced him not despite the lies, but because of them. Groupthink is empowering, a partisan loyalty pledge. — PolitiTweet.org

Great headline the NYT gave my new piece on misinformation & intellectual orthodoxy. Those of us who grew up in authoritarian states are used to being told that what we see isn't reality. https://t.co/tPgHpPZ9K0 — PolitiTweet.org

The only thing Biden should say to Putin on cybersecurity is “STOP”. As for the “Russia-based” attackers, I again remind that from assassins to hackers, there are no freelancers in a dictatorship, the consequences are too high. https://t.co/fTYeqWr7XK — PolitiTweet.org

@DeliaSheridan3 @ilaria_parogni Thank you. But "toe" is correct, and even makes sense for being obedient, which is rare in English expressions! https://t.co/PVOkbtxejg — PolitiTweet.org

Misinformation flourishes in the crevices of our disapproval and offense. "Thanks to the power of the internet, anyone — elected politician, businessman or private citizen — can be a propaganda minister from the comfort of home." https://t.co/tPgHpPZ9K0 — PolitiTweet.org

I was glad to have the chance to cite Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We," a precursor of "1984" and other prescient dystopian works. It describes well the "no freedom, no crime" mentality that seeks to ban unpleasant thoughts and people from the public square. — PolitiTweet.org

When I first drafted this piece a few months ago, the Covid-19 lab theory as intellectual orthodoxy falling in line with partisan political fashion wasn't everywhere like it is today, but it remains a potent example. — PolitiTweet.org

My contribution to the NYT "Big Ideas" series is on misinformation, groupthink, and why it doesn't take an all-powerful state to stifle the free flow of ideas in a way that's harmful to freedom and innovation. https://t.co/tPgHpPZ9K0 — PolitiTweet.org

Lukashenko hijacked an EU flight to kidnap an opposition journalist, with Putin's support. You might think this is trivial if you didn't have to check the flight path of every trip you take like I do. And what if they'd shot it down, like MH17? More "diplomacy"? — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Giving Putin what he wants fails. Biden isn't Trump, or even Obama, and has a chance to truly reset US foreign policy on principles and results. So target what Putin cares about--not Russia or diplomacy. It's money and his mafia. https://t.co/eXe7YJd7J1 — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

"Diplomacy" isn't a goal. It's supposed to achieve goals, like cessation of hostilities or national security. US presidents talk to Putin, he does what he likes and continues to attack the US and the world order, and waits for the next guy and repeats. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Saying "diplomacy" asks us to ignore Putin's 21 years in power. Bush looked into his eyes, Obama pushed the reset button, Trump was his employee of the year. The results? Syria, Ukraine, assassinations, hacking, election interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

It's past time to stop grading Biden on a "Trump curve" and do it on merit. Of course he's better, but you have to speak up when he's making a mistake, as with this summit with Putin. https://t.co/eXe7YJd7J1 — PolitiTweet.org

A face-to-face summit is a win for Putin, legitimizing a dictator's power. In exchange, the US gets... what? If Biden wants to chat, do it over Zoom like everybody else. Doing it to look tough just cements Putin's status. https://t.co/3hLkWkFJpw — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

When I met Biden in Moscow in 2011, he had the nerve to talk tough to Putin, but he didn't have any authority. Now he has the authority, and we will see if he has the nerve to do more than talk. — PolitiTweet.org
