  1. Relatedly, it has been 39 days since @ioerror's paper was released and Ultrasurf has still not posted checksums of its software.
  2. The last thing I will say on #Simurgh is that the datestamp on the malware's download page precedes the Arab Spring by several months.
  3. Simurgh seems to have some type of userbase in the KSA. simurgh.software.informer.com/users/ simurgh-beta.software.informer.com/users/
  4. @headhntr True, but I am trying to argue through innuendo that the malware is targeting Saudis rather than Syrians or Iranians.
  5. Frustrating that I seem to have to assert copyright ownership over Simurgh to have @uploading_com pull download; notified two months ago.
  6. I cannot imagine malware meant to target Syrians or Iranians ever being hosted in the KSA.
  7. Internet Freedom Factsheet -- Since when does @StateDept/DRL use @CreativeCommons media for press releases? [PDF] humanrights.gov/wp-content/upl…
  8. @jilliancyork Good point; would EFF be willing to blog: 'We commend Google on, ... we look forward to hearing about Product X and Company Y"
  9. @jilliancyork If I have faith in anything, it's your persistance; will I see you in Rio?
  10. @jilliancyork Very much so; but I am always deeply afraid of small victories being an distraction from thorough and systemic change.
  11. @jilliancyork Sure, but that means Syrians are now equal to Iranians, Sudanese and Cubans -- which is to say still unequal to everyone else.
  12. @jameslosey Was stalking @SakuramenDC's opening and saw your tweet -- when are you planning to go?
  13. Unsure as to whether I was correct or not in an argument as to whether Tor traffic in Iran is crashing. (I say no.) metrics.torproject.org/users.html?gra…
  14. @jilliancyork My hero!
  15. @jilliancyork Could I steal a few minutes from your jet-setting schedule for the civil society engagement on sanctions emailed today?
  16. The manipulation of the story of an assassinated Nuclear Scientist, #WikiLeaks, and an Executed Kickboxer enduringamerica.com/home/2012/5/18…
  17. Robert Gates's interview on Charlie Rose #Iran regime change, Green Movement, the absurdities of attacking Iran. charlierose.com/guest/view/2016
  18. It's my general theory that any statement about #Iran that includes the direct phrase "the mullahs" is nonsense uttered by a fool.
