@OpFreeAssange As you can see in the screenshot, I pointed that out in my blog post. The problem isn't their publishing record, it's the dishonesty, lies, and bigotry that's the problem https://t.co/PvfgRkxS4b — PolitiTweet.org

And finally, one of the biggest things in my career this last year was my transition from a normal old investigative journalist/security engineer to becoming the Director of Information Security for FLM! Look out for some exciting open source security projects coming next year — PolitiTweet.org

Right now semiphemeral is difficult to use unless you're comfortable running commands in the terminal and working with APIs. But I'm working on making it easier! Expect more next year — PolitiTweet.org

I also decided to delete most of my old tweets, but while still keeping the ones that I wanted. I wrote an open source tool called semiphemeral to help me do this -- it turns out social media privacy is quite popular these days https://t.co/O45v8BBVhv — PolitiTweet.org

I also made some MAJOR new releases to OnionShare. This year is where it really turned into an organized and robust open source project. It's now translated into many languages and supports anonymous dropboxes and hosting onion sites https://t.co/3Z882I65j1 — PolitiTweet.org

This year some of the critical vulnerabilities in the SKS keyserver network were very publicly exploited -- my PGP key is among those that's forever broken on SKS keyservers. So I wrote about the death of the keyserver network, and how FLM is handling it https://t.co/BpXT2tCmlm — PolitiTweet.org

Even though it's two decades into the 21st century, my year involved a good bit of PGP stuff. (Maybe I'm a masochist?) I made a lot of progress on turning the format that GPG Sync uses into an internet standard: the Keylist RFC https://t.co/1g6SYVtAMy — PolitiTweet.org

At The Intercept, we also published the final batch of SIDtoday documents from the Snowden archive this year. I'm very proud of the amazingly detailed work we did publishing this secret history of post 9/11 America https://t.co/69FvJRT9iH — PolitiTweet.org

I was particularly proud of that story. It really nails down the fact that _everyone_ is under corporate surveillance, and unlike spies, ordinary whistleblowers don't have the training or skills to evade it. (I will likely give a talk at @nullcon in India about this next year!) — PolitiTweet.org

This year, Trump's DOJ arrested Daniel Hale and charged him with espionage for allegedly leaking docs about the US drone/assassination program to The Intercept in 2014. This prompted me to write a detailed longread on Trump's war on whistleblowers https://t.co/yzRjIMpUvg — PolitiTweet.org

In 2019 I also started hosting my email from a @HelmSecure in my living room -- I'm still using it, and it's great! Unlike Gmail users, no one but me has access to my email, and I don't have to do any sysadmining. I wrote an in-depth product review of Helm https://t.co/QnW1XDOxj9 — PolitiTweet.org

In late 2018 Bloomberg published a widely criticized, probably untrue story about China inserting secret chips in Supermicro motherboards. In response, @moltke and I dug into the Snowden archive and wrote the definitive piece on ACTUAL supply chain attacks https://t.co/UawDATQehE — PolitiTweet.org

At the beginning of 2019, WikiLeaks sent an email to journalists with a list of 140 "false and defamatory" things about Julian Assange. So my first post of the year was on my personal blog, fact checking WL and their many, many lies -- some even about me https://t.co/T6e4k0BwMb — PolitiTweet.org

The Illuminati got back to me again! Henceforth I am advised "to keep the content of all our email to you as top secret and confidential" and they just need a scan of my passport or drivers license to get started. This is exciting! https://t.co/6jbgSFhsax — PolitiTweet.org
