Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      with all due respect to the people working on this project—many of whom have done great work—why exactly should we assume this is the case?https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/893652186919456768 …

      the Alliance for Securing Democracy isn't releasing data on *how* they determine whether these accounts are linked to actual intel orgs.

      furthermore, from a strategic standpoint, if Russia's sole effort to sack a national security advisor is Twitter, that's nothing to fear.

      the unquestioning attitude that accompanies these reports is odd. aside from Twitter data, what's the evidence the Kremlin is doing this?

      we don't even totally know the relationship between Russian intel orgs, "fake news" outlets, and so-called "troll farms"

      the assumption that Vladimir Putin is an extremely accomplished puppet-master and controls all of this is hilariously misguided, honestly

      Also, the attribution for a bunch of activity the far right has engaged in for decades to Putin is seriously problematic.

      it's bizarre, too, to see ppl jump from "Russia's strategy is to extend a hand to friendly far-right groups" to "Russia controls them all"

      It's so wrong-headed both for how it oversells Putin and for the way it excuses the racist right here.

          totally. the connections are extremely interesting—and scary!—but more care needs to be taken in how they're framed.

          And FAR more care needs to be taken in how The Gizmo's snazzy results get reported. Unbelievably sloppy reporting, followed by sloppy RTing.

          it's amazing—sort of like watching PropOrNot all over again but with bigger names endorsing it.

          And less transparency, all in the name of "protecting Democracy."

          exactly. I'm all for trusting (certain) experts on a lot of these matters, but that trust comes with transparency of methods.
