      Work with Wikileaks, and you'll get cheering Alex Jones fans & confused journos instead of debate on "democratic control of cyberweapons".

      Instead, we have timing to play with particular "deep state" narrative, and scare journalists from investigative reporting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Now, if you're a journo investigating an intelligence agency on head of a nation-state, well. Don't get advice on Twitter. Contact EFF, etc.

      Thread. Misinformation is the new censorship. If we see evidence Signal hacked, it is noteworthy. Not in this dump.https://twitter.com/sheeraf/status/839147353076445184 …

      Timeline is full of activists/journalists panicking that Signal was compromised. Not true. Short version: SIGNAL STILL THE SAFEST OPTION.

          @WilliamsEast15 the release also says that CIA has lost control of the tools. Is the story that we don't know who will use them?
