      Phobia??? Bluetooth is a well-known security risk—including the possibility of escalating and executing code—well, malware—on the phone. Strongly suggest talking to cybersecurity experts—or even a Dr. Google consultation—before running such stories.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1467995231014559744 …

      NEW: Kamala Harris has long felt that Bluetooth headphones are a security risk. So, she insists on using wired ones, 3 fmr campaign aides told @rubycramer and me. That Bluetooth phobia remains (if you look closely, you'll see the clump of wires in hand) https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2021/12/06/kamala-harris-is-bluetooth-phobic-495343 … pic.twitter.com/HtscTWm1sF

      “Paranoid”? Vice President of the United States as a target in a world with the kind of software/hardware we have? You probably couldn’t manage to be paranoid enough tbh.https://twitter.com/AlexThomp/status/1468002290695032834 …

      zeynep tufekci added,

      Former aides say that VP has long been careful about security — w/ some describing it as prudent & others suggesting it’s a bit paranoid. A former aide from AG days said when a person arrived for a meeting, staff were instructed not to allow them to wait in Harris' office alone.

      Seriously, being mindful of well-known cybersecurity risks and not letting people be alone in your office are very very reasonable, even minimal precautions for high office. Don’t we have anything real going on?

          I think this is the most favorable coverage of VPOTUS I saw in a while, at least in my eyes.

          Seriously refreshing to see *anyone* in high office taking this stuff seriously.

          Unfortunately presidential cybersecurity feels like a bit of a "single point of failure" problem, hard to imagine it being very good for Harris to take this seriously if Biden does not (and to a lesser extent vice versa)

          I mean this stuff is all driven by the secret service. How is this some phobia by her?

          Just what I was coming here to say. Misogyny and racism are as real as it gets.

          That can only come from people thinking it is ok for government officials talking on burner phones or private phones.
