Apparently saying "doxing the private social media accounts of someone's family is pretty stalkery" is construed as "attacking" a journalisthttps://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/930087133246820354 …

But always revealing when Greenwald reminds that his concern for privacy is pretextual and dependent on whether he decides your family deserve it.

Wait. Doesn't that suggest you're saying my piece is dependent? Did you read the actual piece? Bc that's not what it says, at all.

Neither of those two tweets were making claims about your piece or your views.

I agree I didn't say you were attacking Feinberg. But he did link to the piece which is where any arg abt privacy gets made.

OK. But so we're clear, I tweeted in a single reply "publicly outing Comey's kids' private instagram was pretty stalkery" and Greenwald then went on a spiel about how it's "hilariously ironic" of me to "attack" a journalist over "Comey's" privacy.

Yes. And you suggested his concern for privacy is situational. I don't think that's true. I think we both wish surveillance supporters could translate that into (possible) impact on those they care about. If that happened there'd be better balancing, I think.
