      Mass, undifferentiated leaks of merely internal conversations are sugar crumbs leading away from focused or powerful, dissident politics.

      Reporting on mass hacks/leaks is enticing but watch: it's actually going to disempower dissent and scrutiny. https://twitter.com/nickconfessore/status/785899181470654464 …

      For example, a suicide attempt was publicized through Podesta indiscriminate dump (Wikileaks tweeted it out). Who will want to be political?

      Indiscriminate destruction of privacy, blurring of lines between corruption & gossip/internal conversation won't bring challenge to power.

      But that's my point. What's happening isn't Journalism, it's a form of "access journalism", gossip passing as news.https://twitter.com/lachancenaomi/status/785982796602810368 …

      Or, consider this: hacks/leaks allow journalists to hold the powerful accountable in a media landscape where only the obsequious get access https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/785980871157227520 …

      Holding the powerful accountable isn't letting hackers (with own agendas) curate sugary crumbs of gossip for you. It's exposing corruption.

      In obsequious "access journalism" we get gossip as the powerful would like us to get. In this form, we get gossip as the hacker would like.

      All the discussion of "was this single hacked email newsworthy" is missing the damage of mass hacks to the ecology of dissident politics.

      Through hacks/mass leaks, anyone in politics risks destruction of private life. We learned of suicide attempt of staffer. Not minor issues.

      Destruction of privacy of anyone near politics—not the powerful but anyone entangled—is an earthquake. Not sure why that's being missed.

          Forget tidbits—won't move political needles. Look at the ecology effects. Lack of privacy can end politics by anyone but the most powerful.

          As with other threats, you will seen see the most powerful and the resourceful figure out how to deal with it; move to end-to-end chat, etc.

          the Palmer raids, cointelpro, FBIs harassment of anarchists, OWS, BLM, mass surveillance, aren't THOSE the actions chilling dissent?

          @iyad_elbaghdadi It's not."missed," it's deprioritized against click revenue and "look-at-me" social media behavior.

          Privatized competitive "journalism" by no means creates more accurate or altruistic works. Only more popular.
