Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi's talk at Columbia this week was full of insight. This warning, on social media manipulation, is FACTS:
"The capacity for extortion and blackmail based on your data -- including data that is not even 100% true -- becomes a HUGE problem..."
More from Clinton on social media manipulation and disinformation. Here she discusses Douglass Mackey, the Trump-lover convicted for a 2016 voter suppression scheme meant to trick Clinton supporters to cast their votes in ways that wouldn't be counted.

.@_jahan: To be unapologetic is to remain stoic in the face of judgment. But to me, Ta-Nehisi Coates isn't stoic. He’s righteously confrontational. And that's why he and his work have been targeted by conservatives. (via The ReidOut Blog) https://t.co/h6fBoXDsYK

The GOP keeps making ugly statements trying to demonize China as a boogeyman, at a dangerous time when anti-Asian hatred and conspiracies are at the fore. @_Jahan
