i care deeply about human freedom

I remember the Iowa Democratic caucus vote being messed up while using their app, but havenโ€™t dove deep. Def link me

Note to self: Shadow Inc is not a good name for your pro-democracy vote tallying app ๐Ÿ˜…

Did you read thru them all? Surely will take weeks to dig thru everything and connect dots and dates etc. Hence ongoing stream of articles.

Somebody get her to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London asap. The UK donโ€™t play around.

Surely they would never change that principle given their previous commitments to user trust and after causing WhatsAppโ€™s privacy focused founder/CEO to ragequit ๐Ÿ˜‰

Itโ€™s possible they are getting Chat-GPTโ€™d I guess, but I presume theyโ€™d do their diligence before publishing. UK libel laws are stringent so if they are fake Iโ€™m sure there will be lawsuits www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/03/04/project-fear-covid-variant-lockdown-matt-hancock-whatsapp/

Just learning about the ongoing โ€œLockdown Files โ€“ more than 100,000 WhatsApp messages sent between UK ministers, officials and others โ€“ showing how the Government used scare tactics to force compliance and push through lockdowns.โ€

Do we know who leaked them? Was it someone at Meta?

"Easy is the descent into hell; all night long, all day, the doors of dark Hades stand open; but to retrace the path; to come out again to the sweet air of Heaven - there is the task, there is the burden." โ€จโ€จ- Virgil, The Aeneid

โ€œWe discover that the fortunes realized by our manufacturers are no longer solely the reward of sturdy industry and enlightened foresight, but that they result from the discriminating favor of the Government and are largely built upon undue exactions from the masses of our people.

The gulf between employers and the employed is constantly widening, and classes are rapidly forming, one comprising the very rich and powerful, while in another are found the toiling poor. As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel.

Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters."

President Grover Cleveland, State of the Union, December 3, 1888
