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 -
Replying to @Pinboard @_SecurityFirst
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.1 reply 5 retweets 35 likes
Too much at stake for my usually more polite instincts.
