Drop Site News holds Israel and the U.S. responsible for killing Hossam. The journalist Mohammad Mansour, a correspondent for Palestine Today, was also killed Monday in an Israeli attack on a house in Khan Younis in southern Gaza. More than 200 of our Palestinian media colleagues have been killed by Israel—supplied with weapons and given blanket impunity by most Western governments—over the past seventeen months.

@walkinglampshade @jrredho @fj It's basic #InfoSec, really:

Thus #Signal fails at protevting #Journalists and theor sources because they do have that data and can be #subopena'd for it if they don't already provide #BulkSurveillance & #LawfulInterception #API|s to comply with #CloudAct. (Or are you guys so naive and believe @Mer__edith will risk dying of old age in jail for non-paying users?)

  • This entire "thread vector" just doesn't exist with #XMPP+#OMEMO nor #PGP/MIME!

And if you believe "this won't ne used/abused me because I'm from 'Murica!" and point at #ANØM as an example, then you really ignored all tze #Cyberfacism since 9/11…

I had made up my mind to be tolerant and sit through the #ABC shitshow (#Sarah and #Speersie) and while #Laura was on point, my blood pressure was up half way through Sarah's interview with the #Treasurer.

Sarah kept using coalition talking points to question the Treasurer but when in his answer the Treasurer compared his budget to the coalition' s non-existant financial policies and its record Sarah tells the treasurer off for not talking about his budget. WTF ?

I turned it off. I will learn more about the budget from better #Journalists who do their homework and explain the budget without political bias. All this fishing for gotchas is unnerving and frankly childish.

I'm just glad I didn't stick around for Speersie, I would've had to take blood pressure meds, a cup of chamomile tea and gone to bed for a rest otherwise.
