NLPaep··on Senate Bill to Ban TikTok
The media is the fourth branch of government. It is wildly considered to be essential for a healthy democracy. You don’t want to have it controlled (for many people) by an untrustworthy and adversarial party, especially when they have a long track record of censorship and are trying to extend their own influence and rules globally.

We can still say and post what we want - it’s not content that’s being censored.

NLPaep··on Twitter Aided The Pentagon in Its Covert Online Propaganda Campaign
But the claims are blatantly false when you look at their links

>Another CENTCOM account, @althughur, which posts anti-Iran and anti-ISIS content focused on an Iraqi audience, changed its Twitter bio from a CENTCOM affiliation to an Arabic phrase that simply reads “Euphrates pulse.”

Here’s their link: https://web.archive.org/web/20191028194428/https://twitter.c...

Nothing simply says “Euphrates pulse” here.

But Twitter didn’t know the accounts would later be astroturfing

>KAHLER TOLD TWITTER that the accounts would all be “USG-attributed, Arabic-language accounts tweeting on relevant security issues.” That promise fell short, as many of the accounts subsequently deleted disclosures of affiliation with the U.S. government.

>That promise fell short, as many of the accounts subsequently deleted disclosures of affiliation with the U.S. government.

>The former Twitter employee told The Intercept that they were surprised to learn of the Defense Department’s shifting tactics. “It sounds like DOD was doing something shady and definitely not in line with what they had presented to us at the time,” they said.

Some claims don’t seem to match the source…

They show an arabic anti Al-Qaeda account in Yemen with two posts. One has 1 like. The other has zero likes. We’re supposed to believe that’s with Twitter “amplifying” the account?

This post also doesn’t say what the author claims it says…

“Drone targets Al-Qaeda car and news that Abu Jandal al-Hadrami and Abu Hashim al-Sharuri were killed in the airstrike in the Al-Abra area of Hadhramaut” https://archive.vn/9FOxg

NLPaep··on Twitter DM Videos Are Accessible to Unauthenticated Users
Part of the issue with Eufy is that they uploaded people’s content even when cloud backup was off. They also had the video stream unencrypted. It accepts an authentication token but never actually enforces it.
