Note, too, they can have hackers that work for them use fake news to phish without those approvals.
Also: When the FBI did this in 2007? They did it to a teenager, and pretended to be the AP.
Also, probably a good time to remind you that FBI can now hack in bulk. So watch out for fake FBI news, mkay?
Yeah, I just figured the best way to get people to realize this is just a technique is to point out our "Good Guys" do it too.
can we ooh and ahh both events? I didn't support FBI fake news campaign but also upset about Russian election hacks
Right. I hope it's okay to be upset by any government using power to harm people, in any country. Even if some upset by it are hypocrites.
Ultimately the FBI was trying, and did, stop bomb threats. My point was abt differentiating purpose from technique @marvelle
Ah, got you. Because I bet the point many people (wrongly) took is that Dems complaining about it now are hypocrites. @emptywheel @marvelle
Wrongly in the sense that people missed their guess at your point, not wrong in the sense that there is no hypocrisy. @emptywheel @marvelle
Fair--I surely did not make point clear. Think reports on intel techniques should never pretend only one adversary uses @marvelle
sorry... "don't support"... (as it's still happening)
We don't know whether it is. I'm just trying to distinguish technique from general goal.
