      Targeted hacking of political campaigns isn't FOIA. As soon as an dissident group amounts to anything, it will be destroyed via this method.

      There's a chance to not normalize this—by treating it like the danger to the ecology of news & politics it is while it affects the powerful.

      Instead, few seem to be able to take their eyes of the candy falling from the piñata, to see the buzzsaw coming this way. ::sigh::

      Also people who believe such mass hacks challenge power. Nope. They confuse most people, which is fatal to dissent.. https://twitter.com/_Drew_McCoy_/status/786994678008688640 …

      By the way, the Pentagon Papers was the opposite of this. It revealed what public had unquestionable right to know and in a focused way.

      wikileaks is not properly understood. It's not about journalism, it's activism. See: https://zunguzungu.wordpress.com/2010/11/29/julian-assange-and-the-computer-conspiracy-%E2%80%9Cto-destroy-this-invisible-government%E2%80%9D/ … Maybe needed?

      .@dschnaepp I've read all that. I've written about this before. What mass hack defenders are missing, ironically, is how power operates.

      you, mean it should operate that way? or there is no other way? I honestly haven't made up my mind about all that.

      .@dschnaepp Mass hacks bring: privacy violations; confusion; distraction; unfocused & weak journalism. Not one of these is good for dissent.

      .@dschnaepp In return, you get relatively trivial stuff. There is no Pentagon Papers here; just political campaigns. And even if there was+

      .@dschnaepp something truly earth-shattering, being revealed this way would bring denials, confusion, etc. The method doesn't suit dissent.

          it depends a little on the journalists.. On the other hand: People in charge pulled out the biggest gun "Russia" to shoot this down

          in terms of Assange's own stated goals this indicates some amount of fear. And thus success. Worth it? I don't know...
