SO excited to hear my friend & colleague, Nobel Peace Prize Winner & Fellow and the News Organization she Co-founded were acquitted of bogus tax evasion charges that would have seen her in prison for 6 years
Truth wins!

🚨Horrible Decision🚨 Hope I don't get booted from this "free speech" platform for this tweet.
PS: my Mastadon is:
Twitter just banned prominent journalists who cover Elon Musk with no explanation

When I put the Mastadon link in my profile it says it fails to update because Mastadon is "considered malware" 🤣

By the way, maybe I'm late to this knowledge, but Twitter blocks Mastadon URLs too... My tweet failed to send until I removed it.

I was totally against web3 until I listened to this podcast episode.
Now I think I’m not against the concepts, but how it is currently being executed and the underlying motivations.
