Uncurated dumps like the Podesta emails are a threat to healthy dissent, even a form of censorship. Me for the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/05/opinion/what-were-missing-while-we-obsess-over-john-podestas-email.html …pic.twitter.com/ajuslzuYOO

To be fair, many of us current anti-Trump ppl enabled WikiLeaks' wanton irresponsibility when it suited our worldview at the time
We also enabled the culture of hacks and leaks when we supported Edward Snowden
What transparency from the powerful via mass hacks drowns in gossip & trivia, but the privacy violation will asymmetrically harm dissidents.
Is just not that harmful. What is harmful in the hacks is 1) they are stolen goods. 2) without context you have curation. /2
Building on this...I think people in politics already know that they will give up personal lives. That demotivation .../1
I hear this a lot.1-The powerful will manage; dissent will go back to pre-internet: unable to communicate globally.https://twitter.com/jeremyzimmer/status/794699961153662976 …
2-"Don't write an email you don't want to see on CNN" is the new "don't wear a miniskirt, then". Powerful will adapt, dissent will suffer.
This bothers me a lot. I’ve seen too many privacy advocates tweeting out excerpts of Podesta’s emails that were simply titillating.
@pwnallthethings yes -- the asymmetry of disclosure (easy to dump/manufacture, hard to correct) makes it easy to discredit & harass.
.@zeynep don't see any assault on dissent here. Recall Podesta and Dem elites actually did suppress Bernie supporters vote..
That is a goddamn lie. Nobody "suppressed" a goddamn thing. But nice try on the red herring.
