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

    If you're just waking up, this morning those who championed the collection of ALL phone metadata in the country say the guy who first legally defended that standard should have his adult son exempted from such analysis.

        Wait..what? They’re granting exceptions to bulk unconstitutional domestic surveillance? The ruling class gets family exceptions? WTF?

        To be fair, as far as I know the ruling class is whitelisted. So yeah.

        Wittes called Feinberg's "doxing" of Comey's twitter account stalkerish.

        I'm only following 16 people, and you and @benjaminwittes are 2 of them. The comparison of the @ashleyfeinberg story to metadata collection is fascinating. The differences are as important as the similarities and I hope those can be explored too.

        Fair point. I'm going to write up the history--why it's important that @Comey and Ben and @Susan_Hennessey and @pwnallthethings not get to dodge it. But I'll grant it's different, in theory.

        Usernames are shared across services as frequently as passwords. People rely on obscurity and relative anonymity to protect themselves without realizing how trivially easy it is to identify account owners using this quasi public metadata.
