    I wrote this when French politicians got hacked but it applies to Germany now. Just because something got hacked doesn’t mean journalists have to amplify every bit. Instead, a high bar for newsworthiness should be applied. Don’t get played like US press. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/amphtml/zeyneptufekci/dear-france-you-just-got-hacked-dont-make-the-same-mistakes …

        Also stop publicizing the links. Yes, the determined will find it. That’s not relevant to the fact that adding friction helps. Don’t act like kids in a candy store—journalists and others. We have to learn new habits, merging public interest with resilience towards manipulation.

        We are not going to eliminate attempts at misinformation and manipulation. We’re going to learn how to deal with them while simultaneously protecting the public interest and genuine whistleblowing. (Here’s the non amp link to the older piece: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/zeyneptufekci/dear-france-you-just-got-hacked-dont-make-the-same-mistakes … )

        And here’s the piece I wrote for the New York times before the 2016 election — about how almost all the US press got played by malicious release of stolen data, and how to distinguish and protect genuine whistleblowing.https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/05/opinion/what-were-missing-while-we-obsess-over-john-podestas-email.amp.html …

        The US press gets played not like an instrument, but like one of those keyboards with a prominent "demo" button.

        Curious: why the switch to authoring on BF?

        That was some time ago! It’s an old piece. I do like them, though not writing for them at the moment.

        No one seems to talk about retaliation. The affected nation states don’t seem to respond in kind to these threats. Is that just my perception or is it real?

        The us press wants to get played, it's the only thing keeping them relevant.
