      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

      These uncurated dumps destroy personal privacy & kick up a cloud of confusion, not illumination. Should alarm people who care about dissent.

      By the way: my argument on why Podesta-like hack & mass dumps are harmful to a healthy democracy isn't about who did the hack—Russia or not.

      Surprising that US privacy-advocates are not alarmed at the harm the mass hack method does to ability to dissent. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/05/opinion/what-were-missing-while-we-obsess-over-john-podestas-email.html …pic.twitter.com/5g6A71hdIS

          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

          Alternate take: regardless of your privilege, engaging in electoral politics now requires that you take opsec seriously.

          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.

          That is a goddamn lie. Nobody "suppressed" a goddamn thing. But nice try on the red herring.
