There is a culture of thievery in some corners of America's most storied newsroom.https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1078725838340800513 …

To be clear, this is not a mistake from the NYTimes. It is a deliberate decision to not credit us. Here are our DMs with the author saying ~he read our piece closely~ and admitting we ~have the same docs~. NYTimes is awful at this https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwk9zd/how-facebook-content-moderation-works … https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/27/world/facebook-moderators.html …pic.twitter.com/I9Ooef4r3C

Four weeks ago I discovered I am still shared on a Google Drive folder of photos my abusive ex controls and is actively putting photos into.
At the same time I learned there is **no way to remove your own access from a folder you have been given view-only access to**.Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

This is a really impressive story: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/27/world/facebook-moderators.html … One impressive part is that it doesn't mention that
@motherboard broke most of this ground, and more, in a massive story four months ago:https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xwk9zd/how-facebook-content-moderation-works …Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -

This explains why I was struck with the "hey, I read it before." In fact, someone told me about it and my reaction was "wait, are you talking about something new or old?" A link and a short phrase acknowledging that the documents published and analyzed before was mandatory here.https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1078443875784683521 …

For the New York Times, doing this again and again is inconsistent with having a leadership position in the professional community of journalists.https://twitter.com/josephfcox/status/1078443875784683521 …

Facebook can estimate where you are just by using WiFi connection info (even if you turned off the GPS) by reverse-lookup with their WiFi-GPS association database previously:https://twitter.com/wongmjane/status/1047581728070455297 …

Reasons that if you can, and it's not too much of a pain, you may want to only link a non-public phone number to an account: - harder for hackers to reset password via SMS/call - harder for hackers to get 2FA tokens - harder for hackers to exploit issues like this

(I spoke to Twitter about this over Christmas; this email is from yesterday and the convo stretched over a few days. Maybe their position will change now it's being exploited on celebs)

On how you can SMS to tweet from a target's account if you know their number: this comes up every few years. Twitter addressed it in 2012 with this blog post: https://blog.twitter.com/engineering/en_us/a/2012/twitter-and-sms-spoofing.html …. Hackers actively using it is news, the vuln itself is not.

Musk's lawyers argue that Twitter is basically a garbage fire of misinformation and nobody expects the things they read here to be literally true. They cite two cases over tweets by President Trump, which came to the same conclusion.pic.twitter.com/cTta25MquU

Elon Musk's lawyers say that when he falsely calls someone a pedophile on Twitter, that's just an "imaginative attack," protected by the First Amendment, so he can't be sued.pic.twitter.com/OqJDNRhfYi

Failing to credit previous reporting is not only unfair to the journalists, but a disservice to the reader: when there is so much news, so much coverage, you can't expect a reader to keep up with what is new and what isn't. Acknowledge what you're building on, show them.

We credit other outlets. Throughout our summer of Facebook coverage, we repeatedly linked back to and mentioned earlier, similar docs the Guardian obtained. We didn't when the docs were entirely new. Clearly, we published these docs before the NYTimes. Credit other outlets.

Lesson: change your veins regularly, use complex vein patterns, and try not to use the same veins on multiple security locks.
