Definitely not a great look for Cellebrite. Also one of the best blog posts I've read in a while. https://t.co/uw9UJ3h7QH #SPA440Cyber

We at AU have to use Pulse Secure to connect to the schools VPN and virtual desktops for specialized software #SPACyber440

[The Cyber Security Hub™ @TheCyberSecHub]

At least 24 agencies run Pulse Secure software. How many were hacked is an open question. https://t.co/VY0br7fxSp

China is certainly taking a more draconian response, though still in line with its past policies, to combating "fake news." But it shows that combating "disinformation" can quickly become at odds with free expression

An interesting insight into a topic covered in our class https://t.co/tpUNpbxcvl #SPACyber440

[JackG @Jack13_G]

A rare statement from Justice Thomas. It will be interesting to see what action comes from this, and if it ends up divided along party lines. https://t.co/Q6K7fQ5gaB #SPA440Cyber

Will be interesting to see if any pork is added to what should be a bipartisan win for cyber policy. #SPACyber440 https://t.co/lscLTqejHa

Recently there was a "bug" on twitter that banned users who used the word "Memphis" Certainly not a great look, for any platform, to demonstrate the capacity to turn off talk on huge topics or words. More similar to a publisher than a platform https://t.co/VFJWgqxeHT #SPA440Cyber

[JackG @Jack13_G]

https://t.co/hU0VOJbpgH Certainly an interesting policy position to take, when it comes to announcing offensive measures before they happen. It remains to see how effective it will be. #SPA440Cyber

[JackG @Jack13_G]

https://t.co/gfr6KpIFdN An interesting view on the differing priorities that have come up for the Biden administration when it comes to cyber. #SPA440Cyber

If companies want to moderate content, then they need to have clear standards and guidelines. As well as being aware that it is a zero-sum game when it comes to Section 230. You are either not responsible and are hands off, or you are and you moderate. #SPA440Cyber

[JackG @Jack13_G]

where there need to be redefinitions due to the internet being outside the scope of existing precedent deal with those as they arise. The exceptions should not define the rule, which overall applies very well. 4/4 #SPA440Cyber #Section230

[JackG @Jack13_G]

Unfortunately this issue lacks the overarching debate of whether or not the internet and the companies that provide it should be treated like other utilities or providers of public goods. The 1st Amendment has clear limits that easily extend into the internet #SPA440Cyber 1/?

[JackG @Jack13_G]

they have a vested interest in delaying any process that threatens to change it. This can be a reason why this area becomes politicized, or bills have "poison pills" added to them. Apply the 1st Amendment's guidelines to cyber, and 3/4 #SPA440Cyber

[JackG @Jack13_G]

It's honestly shameful that instead of trying to determine the structural causes of such a damaging breach, people are just plopping it "the interns" lap. If an intern can set that kind of password, that's the fault of those who gave the power #SPA440Cyber https://t.co/fyoq2XsGI9

A change in thinking like this could is not only beneficial for private industry, but for other national security sensitive work as well. Expecting things to fail is a good way of staying ahead and being ready for failures. Expect the best, but plan for the worst.

[Georgia Green @GdGreen]

On the "Zero Trust" mindset - "When every employee at a company assumes attackers are going to land at some point, they model threats and implement mitigations to ensure that any potential exploit can't expand." This mindset is preventative, and should be adopted.

New: Senate Intelligence Committee announces SolarWinds hearing next Tuesday with leaders of SolarWinds, FireEye, Microsoft, and CrowdStrike.

No government witnesses. Maybe there will be a follow-up hearing with them?

"But the main hazard posed by these platforms is not aggressive pricing, abusive service or other ills often associated with monopoly. Instead, it is their contribution to the spread of misinformation, hate speech and conspiracy theories."
