@CrisprCas6 @notdan @WhaleBearMan @ProtonMail Helm has 2FA to login to your account in the Helm app, which then let's you create device passwords for each device. Then you login to email on desktop and mobile using IMAP/SMTP, which are both standards that don't support 2FA. Otherwise Helm would need custom email clients — PolitiTweet.org

@ReynardMiri @rdheadmami @LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting He's being charged with agreeing to try to crack a password (which he either failed to do or didn't try), that wouldn't have helped Manning access more documents in any case, but maybe could have helped her hide her tracks — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@rdheadmami @ReynardMiri @LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting This isn't about Julian Assange. It's about whether or not journalists will get charged with felonies for publishing secret documents in the future. Whether or not Assange is a journalist doesn't make a difference. This indictment threatens investigative journalism either way — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@rdheadmami @LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting Julian Assange isn't a whistleblower. I'm not defending him. Chelsea Manning is a whistleblower. She exposed US war crimes and helped end the Iraq war, and her 2010 leaks were so much in the public interest that every major newspaper in the world covered them — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@ReynardMiri @rdheadmami @LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting Before the Trump admin can start charging people who published classified docs (journalists) with felonies, despite the 1st Amendment, they need to to win in court once, to establish precedent. Picking Wikileaks as their test case was smart because they're so widely hated. — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@LauraMiers @caitoz @rdheadmami @Bravewriting Whistleblowers often break laws when they talk to, or give docs to, journalists, even when they expose illegal spying, war crimes, corruption, etc. This precedent will allow the Justice Dept to charge those journalists with felony conspiracy, instead of just their sources — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@rdheadmami @LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting Whether or not he's a journalist doesn't make a difference. The precedent of this case would be used against journalists in the future regardless — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting I think Obama admin realized there was little difference between this WL case and going after New York Times, Guardian, WaPo, and everyone else who reported the docs, decided 1A was more important. This would be the first journalist charged under CFAA related to classified docs — PolitiTweet.org

@LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting Assange is a piece of shit, and I hope he gets extradited to Sweden and finally faces (at least one of) his rape accusation. But this specific US case against him, about the 2010 Chelsea Manning leak, will give the Trump admin a new, dangerous weapon to attack the media — PolitiTweet.org

Micah Lee 🫡 @micahflee

@LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting The stuff described in the indictment (deleting metadata/chat logs, encrypted chat, whistleblower submission systems) are standard source protection techniques we *all* rely on. The didn't even crack the password, and it wouldn't even have given Manning access to more docs — PolitiTweet.org

@LauraMiers @caitoz @Bravewriting First, @caitoz is a batshit conspiracy theorist- she even targeted me personally after I published these leaked Wikileaks DMs https://t.co/4EPvQkZ3JQ But if this indictment against Assange sticks, it would set a dangerous precedent that could be used against all journalists — PolitiTweet.org

Sweden has reopened the rape investigation against Julian Assange. The investigation was dropped in 2017 because they concluded there was no way to proceed while he was in the embassy. If Sweden submits a EU arrest warrant, UK could extradite him to Sweden https://t.co/9c1mp3ihid — PolitiTweet.org
