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.
zeynep tufekci Retweeted The Washington Post
I mean, it's one week to a major election and this is the stuff going viral, while mass media obsesses with gossip.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/794647737434304513 …
zeynep tufekci added,
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
zeynep tufekci Retweeted digging around in the HTML
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 …
zeynep tufekci added,
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.
Before the election I argued, in vain, that uncurated dumps including personal data would structurally threaten dissent, not really power.pic.twitter.com/bnk1Afheiw
Wrote this before the election—journos ignored me. Clearer after Wikileaks threat to expose their family/housing? http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/05/opinion/what-were-missing-while-we-obsess-over-john-podestas-email.html …pic.twitter.com/6pH9LU6qOj
@washingtonpost This is a lie. @Wikileaks said no such thing.A task force made of citizens who work 2correct lies mentioned this
WL has the taskforce in its bio, taskforce is a verified account.
it was verified due to all the fake accounts. @wikileaks verified the group of people @WLTaskForce were indeed there to dispel lies
@wikileaks has repeatedly stated no one speaks on its behalf
