This document shows such a profound misunderstanding of the tactics being used in Hong Kong, and the threats the protesters here are defending against, that it should completely discredit @_securityfirst and Umbrella app. Eschew.https://medium.com/@roryireland/new-protest-tactics-in-hong-kong-674ae256af1 …

Consider this exchange when deciding whether to trust Umbrella App, or work with
@_SecurityFirst on anything that involves real people at risk. Unlike me,@zeynep is an expert at this stuff and not prone to Twitter blatherhttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1169068359234646016 …Pinboard added,
zeynep tufekciVerified account @zeynepReplying to @zeynep @roryireland and 3 othersI’m sorry but I’m short on patience on people who are claiming to give security advice but are clearly not in a position to do so! I understand you think you are well-meaning, but there professions where you can avoid doing harm just by being well-meaning. This isn’t it.1 reply 9 retweets 20 likesShow this thread -

zeynep tufekciVerified account @zeynepReplying to @roryireland @iainthomson and 2 othersThe only fix is you get out of doing this. I’m serious. It’s like somebody’s talking about omelettes and you have a recipe for braiding hair. You may think of yourself as well-meaning but if anyone takes it all seriously, it’s harmful. I’m not talking about fixing typos.2 replies 1 retweet 26 likesShow this thread
I'm not normally this blunt on Twitter but that essay with the gazillion complicated hand signals allegedly in use.
Clearly someone who's never tried to organize or observe a movement, let alone Hong Kong's... Copypasta experts should stay far, far away from security advice.
