I assume they monitor and record messages people send, and messages in the form of text can be compiled and analyzed in mass by searching for key words. Since this is impossible for images and videos, they are banned. Protecting national interests is a poor excuse. #piusnews https://t.co/0wnlckr7LJ

#piusnews Iran has started to disrupt the way that people can use the popular Telegram messaging app. In an official statement, Iran banned the swapping of images and videos via the service. https://t.co/kUDwO2CR6y

https://t.co/86eRhaIyqV I agree with DoD on this... given that Russia has incentive to lie and has shown no proof they did not lie, they're probably lying. Maybe they got some charred remains of a missile to study, but wouldn't US forces reach the failed missile first? #piusnews

https://t.co/bzqHRCwQ6w … Russia Orders ISPs to Block Telegram, Founder Gets Crafty - This is a big win for free speech in Russia. The pros of free speech for a nation will always outweigh any cons, even the ability of terrorists to scheme in private. #piusnews

By blaming "Criminal negligence" Putin is giving people a source to direct their anger. Infrastructure is in deplorable quality all over Russia but Putin does not make it a national concern, even though an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. #piusnews https://t.co/Be1ZNM2apJ

https://t.co/I7CMQcflGh I think responding to Russia's attack with major penalties for Russia is a good idea so long as most countries are involved, since the single event that brought this to public attention is definitely not the only sketchy thing Russia is doing. #piusnews

Russia Promises Reprisals To U.K. After Accusations and Sanctions https://t.co/dBc6VJcfF8 Russia should be condemned and punished but the current escalation seems disproportionate to the scale of the event, risking more than the two lives that were almost taken. #piusnews

This is probably concerning for Israel. Besides, a war-torn country shouldn't be devoting economic resources to developing missiles, unless it wants to be war-torn indefinetely. #piusnews https://t.co/bn24DGpsPu

Putin Claims Russia Has New Weapons to Make Others 'Useless' https://t.co/X97uQrWbhH … I wonder if maybe there is some relationship between the massive expenditure on new weapons by the Russian government and Russia's high poverty rate. #piusnews

I could not agree more. Policies like these exist for the sole purpose of getting the politician votes, in this case the votes of women, who overwhelmingly support Planned Parenthood. There's a reason the avg. woman has a lifetime NET fiscal impact of negative $150 thousand. https://t.co/rV7vDK0lCk

Tourism secretary: 50mn visitors by 2021 https://t.co/xY9jBhYAjs This is good news for Mexico's economy, since tourism is highly profitable, but floods of tourist often wreak havoc on the environment, spoil the atmosphere, and burden infrastructure and police. #piusnews

[Ian Jezak @JezakIan]

I agree, fiscal responsibility is important and displaying military strength is not particularly important for the US, the military budget far higher than most other nations combined speaks for itself. #piusnews https://t.co/2n7poiUU5A

Earthquake jolts southeastern Mexico https://t.co/XlU1DctPZ1 I knew Mexico's infrastructure was lacking, but I did not realize it was literally crumbling. I am glad nobody was injured badly. #piusnews

I am surprised the number is that low. I wonder if the government study has a significant bias, or if that many people actually think the government should be the authority on what people wear. https://t.co/p2C4ctL1mx

BBC News - Mexico: Zetas drugs cartel leader caught https://t.co/PVhJVxFEuA
This is great news but obviously does not mean the end of the cartel or smuggling in general. At best this brings consolation to the families of those murdered or otherwise harmed by the cartel.

I imagine the fracturing of the EU due to the competing forces of nationalism and elites in Brussels trying to run their continent as if it were their country is generally beneficial to the East since it forces individual European countries to bargain against one another. https://t.co/fyyLz12m4V

Russian police arrest opposition leader amid protests https://t.co/rDmp63vMOk via @NBCNews

Seems pretty clear that the czar, Putin, saw Navalny as having a legitimate chance of winning a democratic election and is ensuring that the correct winner wins instead.

[Ian Jezak @JezakIan]

The article nowhere explains the basis behind the lawsuit, other than some people's feelings being hurt. Besides that, the writer of the article has a clear agenda - the reporting is not objective at all. https://t.co/p01UyDr2SE

Enough fentanyl to kill tens of millions seized by Mexican police - NY Daily News - It is difficult to imagine that the "war on drugs" could ever be won, when you consider this and that several times more probably goes unsiezed.

Why did CNN feel the need to begin the article with mentioning Mexico's tourism value as if to frame the advisories as a deliberate move to hurt Mexico's economy? They contradict this later by pointing out that the main tourism hot-spots are not on the list. https://t.co/tLf73BcFjr
