Top News:
Adi Robertson / The Verge:
Zuckerberg cited a need for diversity of views when asked about Breitbart's presence in Facebook News, but also said News is only for high-quality, curated news — On Friday morning, Facebook announced its plan to spend millions of dollars on high-quality journalism, fueling the launch of a new dedicated news tab on its platform.
Discussion:
Adam Mosseri / @mosseri: @NoahShachtman @cwarzel I'm not defending Breitbart, I'm asking if you really want a platform of our scale to make decisions to exclude news organizations based on their ideology? Put another way, do you care more about advancing your views than preserving freedom for diverse views to be on platforms?
Charlie Warzel / New York Times: Why Will Breitbart Be Included in ‘Facebook News’?
Adam Mosseri / @mosseri: Two things to consider: (1) do you really want platform as big as Facebook embracing a political ideology? And (2) not as important, and this is an honest question, why such a different reaction to Breitbart being Apple News partner?
Judd Legum / @juddlegum: UPDATE: A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to me that the company is not releasing a list of publications that are approved for inclusion in the new News Tab It's hard to understand how this can be a trusted source of news if Facebook won't be transparent about what's included
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: “The real threat to Facebook isn't bad P.R., it's alienating its user base. Through this lens, it makes perfect sense that Facebook should want to publicly court conservative audiences that seethe at what they perceive as Facebook's liberal bias.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: It's alarming that Facebook execs think the only issue is Breitbart's “ideology.” Another issue would be the quality of stories it publishes. Using a website known for peddling misinformation as a source for a news tab aimed at curating “high quality” info makes little sense. https://twitter.com/...
Nate Silver / @natesilver538: This is what happens when a platform is run by people who are truth-agnostic. I don't think anyone should want Facebook to promote/exclude outlets based on ideology. Rather, the argument is FB decisions should be made based on whether the publications are truthful and accurate. https://twitter.com/...
Bill Thompson / @billt: All of us journalists need to consider what's going on with Facebook's approach to news and authority - because they currently get to legitimise, and we need to express our views about what actually grants status to a news outlet. Now. https://twitter.com/...
Lulu Garcia-Navarro / @lourdesgnavarro: When we talk about the mainstreaming of White Supremacy, we only have to look to the actions of Facebook in its selection of far right sites for its News Tab. As a POC, and as a journalist with the fact based media I find it extraordinary https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Roger McNamee / @moonalice: Nonsense. This is not about free speech. The issue is amplification of content that promotes engagement, namely hate speech disinformation, and conspiracy theories. Algo amplification + micro targeting undermine democracy. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / CNN: Facebook News launches with Breitbart as a source
Marc Tracy / @marcatracy: My story with @MikeIsaac updated after this afternoon's event with Zuckerberg https://www.nytimes.com/... pic.twitter.com/SuKStuekXy
Will Oremus / @willoremus: I also get why they don't want to risk it from a biz standpoint, but it sure would be interesting to see Facebook call conservatives' bluff at some point. How hard would Fox News, Breitbart, Shapiro and Trump really bite the hand that feeds them so well?
Rat King / @mikeisaac: they should release the list but i get why they arent — trying to head off outlet scrutiny and the R's screaming bias while D's pick apart the hard Right stuff seems like lose lose but doesnt mean they shouldnt release it
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: my sense is that the list is in flux and they're not ready to talk about it yet. but they should and I hope they do soon
Will Oremus / @willoremus: This is so familiar. Facebook; We've announced a high-minded new project to address all of your criticisms! Critics: Cool, how does it work? Facebook: Sorry that's a secret. https://twitter.com/...
Rat King / @mikeisaac: it might turn out to be a worse strategy for it to slowly leak over time just in terms of extending the outrage or whatever
Joe Bernstein / @bernstein: One way to think about Facebook naming Breitbart a “trusted news source”: my investigation two years ago contained revelations so damning Breitbart funder Robert Mercer stepped down as CEO of his hedge fund. But it's good enough for Zuck & co https://www.buzzfeednews.com/ ...

Facebook takes a step forward by putting money behind high-quality journalism, but must not leave small publishers behind or promote purveyors of disinformation — Ronald Reagan called these the nine most terrifying words in the English language: “I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”

Lauren Feiner / CNBC: Facebook's new approach to journalism is a well-timed distraction from antitrust scrutiny
Jeremy Barr / @jeremymbarr: @sarafischer Zuckerberg on Breitbart: “Part of having this be a trusted source is that it needs to have a diversity of basically views in there. I think u want to have content that represents different perspectives but is doing so in a way that complies with the standards we have for this.”
Harrison Jones / Metro.co.uk: Greta Thunberg hits out at ‘very disturbing’ Facebook over ‘lies and hate’

Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Thompson making this sound like the Holy Grail of news, because Facebook is paying a handful of news companies a sum of money that for Zuckerberg is the equivalent of me giving the guy outside the bus station a quarter for coffee https://twitter.com/...

Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin: No better example of how a biz models shapes biz decisions than Facebook's unfortunate move to include Breitbart, which is far more advocacy than journalism, in its News Tab. The ad biz pushes companies to a “both-sides ism” that thankfully reader-supported businesses can ignore.
Jessica Lessin / @jessicalessin: Exactly. Facebook faces such political decisions because it needs to appear neutral to avoid alienating advertisers. Newspapers did too, when advertising paid the bills. Subscription has to resist the urge to play to the base, so both models have challenges.
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Yes, this is political. FB can't be hated by both sides and needs political protection. If the Dem demand is “don't exist” and the GOP demand is “carry our content”, running for protection from the latter is much more palatable. https://twitter.com/...
Kevin Roose / @kevinroose: This is a) correct, b) encouraging, c) very, shall we say, interesting given how Facebook has treated journalists who cover the company in the past. https://twitter.com/...
Josh Marshall / @joshtpm: 2/ “free money” as Zuckerberg put it, we couldn't say no to that. But this image of every outlet going to FB to beg ... “before it's too late” I get the sense that there's some buying of silence here. And no we're certainly not going to do that.
Heather Landy / @heatherlandy: My own standards for engaging on social media prevent me from responding to this comment from @newscorp CEO Robert Thomson the way I'd like to. Just know that his comment is dead wrong and entirely irresponsible, whether according to standards of journalism or common decency. https://twitter.com/...
Joseph / @josephstash: I guess it's a different Facebook to the one that Thomson called “dysfunctional and socially destructive” two years ago: https://www.thedrum.com/...
Joseph / @josephstash: Imagine being a highly paid exec of a global corporation and having the gall to tell local newspapers, who've suffered for decades before their national or international colleagues ever did, that the only way to salvation is Mark Zuckerberg
Josh Marshall / @joshtpm: This is pretty bizarre. No idea re quartz. But curious the logic of intro'ing this with head of News Corp? Remember, in real life Waystar-Royco got Pierce.

Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: News organizations have made plenty of their own mistakes, and they can't blame all their woes on Facebook. But the company has pursued a toxic policy toward democracy and journalism, as this excellent @jmgrygiel piece noted a few months ago https://theconversation.com/ ... 5/
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Remember FB's Instant Articles, which were supposed to generate ad revenue and subscriptions for news sites.

Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: While it's heartwarming to see longtime antagonists, like News Corp's CEO, doing a deal with Facebook, and while it's good to see FB paying for quality content, the news business ought to remain skeptical about this .... 1/
J. Grygiel / @jmgrygiel: Thanks—I wonder why Facebook forgot to invite me to the News tab launch party...just kicking it in Manhattan today and meeting with awesome journalists instead. Just got my shoes shinned—prob a better use of my time than attending this pseudo event...

Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Thompson puts Zuckerberg on the spot and asks whether FB can pay local papers. He touts the separate product they've been developing: Today In, a local tab. He says he hopes to have financial relations there. Then he touts FB's $300m commitment to news.
Casey Newton / @caseynewton: “Turn down millions of dollars for work you've already done, because previous Facebook deals were not very good!” — media biz dev geniuses in my timeline today
Siva Vaidhyanathan / @sivavaid: I want to remind all the cynics out there that this is how Zuckerberg actually thinks. For real. Sincerely. It's not an act and it's not out of self-interest. He really can't see the difference. As @ibogost reminds us, it's all just “content” to him. https://twitter.com/...
David Eads / @eads: The timing is curious to me. Facebook rolled out a big new product for publishers in late 2015 (FB live) and paid them to use it. Now we're heading into 2020 and a similar story seems to be playing out.
Siva Vaidhyanathan / @sivavaid: Or neither. Could be negligible.
Alex Heath / @alexeheath: MZ is doing a bit of revisionist history by saying that FB's record-setting drop in market cap last year was due to tweaking the News Feed to down-rank mindless content consumption. What really happened was FB resetting growth expectations with the market. https://www.wsj.com/...
Alex Heath / @alexeheath: Great question from @sarafischer to MZ: Will FB's human editors for the news tab include stories that are critical of FB? She points out that Bloomberg News doesn't cover Mike Bloomberg, a policy MZ didn't know about...
Alex Heath / @alexeheath: ... “I didn't know that's a thing a person could do?,” MZ says of the Bloomberg policy. “I don't think that's a right approach” More on how FB's human editors will curate here https://www.theinformation.com/ ...
Kathryn Flett / @kateflett: I watched a bit of it on, er, Facebook Live. Loved that the News Corp Boss, aka #oldguy was reading from bits of actual PAPER. (Even I might have stuck my monologue on an iPad)
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: This is going to be a separate tab where literally no one will ever go, and even if they do they will see the same five headlines they see on Google News or Apple News https://twitter.com/...
Molly Wood / @mollywood: Probably the only thing to read about Facebook News. https://techcrunch.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: @gaberivera @murraymatt @qz @delaney Asked about Breitbart's inclusion in the tab, Zuck says he doesn't want to talk about specific pubs. Makes hand-wavey comments about diversity.
Jeremy Barr / @jeremymbarr: @sarafischer asks how News curators will handle stories about the company Zuck: “The team is going to be independent. For better or worse, we're a prominent part of the news cycle. I don't think it would be reasonable to have a News tab that didn't cover what Facebook was doing”
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Oy again. Breitbart will be include in the news tab. Won't be paid, says The Times, but articles Breitbart posts to FB will be eligible for inclusion. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Publishers can run their own ads on their news tab content and keep the revenue or they can use FB's ad network and still get “the vast majority of the revenue.”
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Thompson is strutting as if in a movie called The Revenge of the Gatekeepers.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: In short: Thompson et al can be bought.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Zuckerberg: “This is going to be the first time that we're forming long-term, stable relationships and partnerships with publishers.” Nailing the rug down so it can't be pulled is critical for publishers!
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: @gaberivera @murraymatt Zuck references the multi-year deals as a commitment that FB won't screw over its new media pals. https://twitter.com/...
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: “I've been able to make the case persistently and puckishly because of the enduring support of Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch,” says Thompson of his long-time complaint about trying to get money from tech cos.
Jeff Jarvis / @jeffjarvis: Zuckerberg says that he and News Corp.'s Robert Thompson have been talking about “doing this” — news — for two or three years. Thompson: “I do have one question. What took you so long.”
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: This Nixon-to-China Facebook-to-News Corp presser is such a big deal that @gaberivera has left Brooklyn to attend.

Rory Cellan-Jones / @ruskin147: https://newsroom.fb.com/... Facebook rolls out its News tab in the US - will be interesting to see which publishers are excluded. Facebook says it will use “a range of integrity signals in determining product eligibility, including misinformation.”
Zephyr Teachout / @zephyrteachout: Any system that relies on Facebook doing the right thing is a bad system. They can change their mind. They can prefer some content over others. News, ONLY so long as Facebook deigns to allow it to exist, is not healthy. We need Congress and enforcers to act, not rely on Zuck. https://twitter.com/...
Brian Ray / @brianrayguitar: If Facebook “curators” are adding Breitbart in their news section they've already failed at curating. That's noise, not news. https://twitter.com/...
Zephyr Teachout / @zephyrteachout: Also: “local newsrooms fear being left behind” is kind of a grotesque understatement of the problem of no local news. Isn't it more “humans fear democracy being dismantled?” https://www.cnn.com/...
Lydia Polgreen / @lpolgreen: I worry a great deal about this. It's fine to funnel money to prosperous national news orgs but even better to help the smaller ones. (Can't help but notice billionaires Murdoch & Bezos among top beneficiaries of FB largesse here). https://twitter.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Anyway, I understand why FB did this. They rightly realize that a lot of media coverage is explicitly (Murdoch) or implicitly (NY Times OpEd on ad revenue) driven by cash flow. But the blending of curated, paid news with UGC is going to lead to some really bad policy outcomes.
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Some local papers, already struggling, are worried about being left behind while Facebook funds national sources. Here's what an editor in Maine told me 👇🏼 https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: BuzzFeed CEO @Peretti says “it's a good day for the internet” because Facebook is paying $$ for access to publishers' content. “For the first time, we're seeing the platforms step up and take responsibility for their role in the news ecosystem,” he says https://www.cnn.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Allowing people to chat privately is very different than providing massive paid amplification via ads. It is certainly different than paying millions of dollars for content and then displaying it. @daphnehk, I assume the paid news tab has absolutely no protection under CDA 230?
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Should FB use their terrifying power as an intermediary to make Breitbart disappear? No. Should FB pay them and intentionally amplify their disinformation? Definitely no! If FB doesn't distinguish between products based upon amplification and cash flow, why would the gov/media?
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: I would have much rather seen a privacy-preserving micro-payment platform as the way to help news outlets (could have bought @brave) as it could have been deployed in a much more neutral manner than explicitly picking winners and losers and cutting checks directly.
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: I'm gonna re-up this chart I've been using to discuss calibrating anti-abuse interventions versus free expression and privacy concerns. Facebook just added a new layer on top, “Curated and Paid Content”, for which they have 100% responsibility. https://twitter.com/...
Librarianshipwreck / @libshipwreck: It's only a matter of time before Zuckerberg gets hauled back before Congress to answer questions about the ways in which Facebook News was exploited to disseminate false/hateful content. Once more, Zuck will squirm, but escape consequence free. https://www.cnn.com/...?
Ben Winslow / @benwinslow: Color me skeptical that Facebook really will include local community news sources, which frequently break the stories that get aggregated into the national reporting. Oh, and Rupert Murdoch is right. They should pay for it. https://twitter.com/...
John Warner / @biblioracle: “Step into my parlor said the spider to the fly.” FB becoming an even bigger pipeline for news organizations is not going to go well for the news organizations. https://twitter.com/...
@rolandsmartin: Will @facebook have Black-owned media companies as a part of this? They sure didn't do ANYTHING for Black Media when they launched Facebook Watch. As long as they keep funding big mainstream companies, the rich get richer, and NOTHING changes. https://twitter.com/...
Simon Owens / @simonowens: One thing that's struck me over the last few months is that news is almost entirely nonexistent on my Facebook feed, a signal of just how thoroughly the company has retreated from the sector. https://twitter.com/...

@blmohr: “But Toensing, diGenova, and Parnas are not mentioned in the article, raising the possibility that the trio, who had been working to find evidence of wrongdoing by the Bidens in Ukraine, had been working directly with Solomon on the story.” https://www.politico.com/...
@samthielman: This guy's tendentious opinionating in reporting drag has been the subject of open discussion for years but I had no idea he was also just straightforwardly corrupt. https://twitter.com/...
Ryan J. Reilly / @ryanjreilly: .@jsolomonReports: “everything — everything — was above board.” Narrator: It wasn't. https://www.propublica.org/...
Will Sommer / @willsommer: This is a stunning investigation on Trump ally John Solomon's behavior at The Hill. https://twitter.com/...
Jennifer Salan / @jensalan: For anyone who's been following The Hill - this isn't a big surprise https://www.propublica.org/...
@blakehounshell: “Interviews & company records obtained by ProPublica show Parnas worked closely with Solomon to facilitate his reporting, including helping with translation and interviews. Solomon also shared files he obtained related to the Biden allegations with Parnas” https://www.propublica.org/...
Oliver Willis / @owillis: he had a stint at the washington post, where he also did this stuff https://www.mediamatters.org/ ...
Jesse Eisinger / @eisingerj: How did Lev Parnas, now indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, get the disinformation campaign on Biden & Ukraine going? By essentially partnering with @jsolomonReports Earlier, the publisher warned Solomon was engaged in “reputation killing stuff.” https://www.propublica.org/...
Nick Schwellenbach / @schwellenbach: Not the first time!! “Solomon was engaged in ‘reputation killing stuff’ by mixing business with journalism” https://www.propublica.org/...
John Harwood / @johnjharwood: conservative writer on working w/since-indicted Rudy associate on anti-Biden, anti-Dem Ukraine stories “No one knew there was anything wrong w/Lev Parnas at the time. “Everybody who approaches me has an angle. My mother has an angle when she calls me” https://www.propublica.org/...
Aaron Blake / @aaronblake: “Watching from the control booth of The Hill's TV studio was Lev Parnas, who helped arrange the interview.” https://www.propublica.org/...
Aaron Blake / @aaronblake: “Solomon recalls first encountering Parnas through Pete Sessions “Sessions ... told ProPublica that he has no connection to Solomon. 'I don't know John,' he said.” https://www.propublica.org/...
Nick Confessore / @nickconfessore: Rebranding someone's shitty and unethical reporting as “opinion” and then letting him keep at it is an insult to decent opinion writers everywhere. https://www.propublica.org/... pic.twitter.com/WiND0ZTusZ
Jonah Fisher / @jonahfisherbbc: Why did @thehill continue publishing @jsolomonReports pieces on Ukraine for so long? https://www.propublica.org/...
Nick Schwellenbach / @schwellenbach: From 7 ys ago: an ICIJ staffer “confronted Solomon about his potential financial interest in the business plan...the deal was something Solomon was pushing, but that [CPI's head] and the board opposed it, citing ‘a conflict of interest’” https://archives.cjr.org/...
Bradley P. Moss / @bradmossesq: .@thehill nice job there on having Solomon as a EVP for so long while he was allegedly laundering info from his lawyers into columns that were helping his lawyers' other clients. https://twitter.com/...
Natasha Bertrand / @natashabertrand: @dsamuelsohn The arrangement raises new q's about legal privileges that could help shield key players from scrutiny, & “whether these individuals are trying to use a lawyer-client relationship to hide communications involving illicit activities,” said @rgoodlaw. https://www.politico.com/...
Eric Umansky / @ericuman: John Solomon's “story” in the @thehill started the disinfo campaign re Ukraine Guess who basically partnered w/ Solomon on story? Rudy buddy Lev Parnas. The indicted Parnas: -swapped files w/ Solomon -helped translate -was literally in control room https://www.propublica.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Eric Umansky / @ericuman: Also: John Solomon engaged in what sure looks like pay-for-play. He made a deal with an advertiser and then inserted a quote from them into a story. “If a media reporter gets ahold of this, it could destroy us,” the Hill's publisher wrote. https://www.propublica.org/... pic.twitter.com/MDUY2Pxj5l
Oliver Willis / @owillis: it bears repeating that john solomon - for years - was a major part of political coverage at ap and *even then* it was clear he was out to get democrats. instead, he kicked around legit journalism forever https://www.propublica.org/...

Julie Roginsky / @julieroginsky: Let me also add that being bound by NDAs is toxic for so many reasons. In the absence of being able to tell your own story, others fill the void less than accurately. There is a movie out soon called Bombshell which purports to tell my story and the story of other women. (1) https://twitter.com/...

Kara Swisher / @karaswisher: Why do these women need to approach NBC legal as part of letting them out of their “perceived” non-disparagement agreements? It's obvi scary to have to do that. Why not just unilaterally declare they can speak out? Also good on @maddow for speaking up: https://www.nytimes.com/...

A look at Newsweek's grim condition: journalists are ranked by page views and expected to write four stories a day as the company struggles to pay its bills — No one working at Newsweek can tell me why it still exists — On March 20, Nancy Cooper, the editor in chief of Newsweek, sent an email to her editorial staff.
Discussion:
Marie Solis / @msolis14: At Newsweek my salary was based on how many people clicked my stories each month, and I was ranked against my coworkers on a Google sheet that autofilled every day. Any quality reporting my coworkers and I did was in spite of these conditions: https://www.cjr.org/...
Lionel Barber / @lionelbarber: Breathtaking read: BladeRunner journalism laid bare https://twitter.com/...
@rhokilpatrick: At my first gig I had to pitch, write, edit, publish and promote 12 “posts” a day starting 0800. Often worked over 15-hour days in the hope of treating myself to more than a few hours' sleep, a lunch break the next day, or a work-free day at the weekend. https://www.cjr.org/...
Michael Roddan / @michaelroddan: “You're being asked to write a story in two hours, and your editors are being asked to edit it in twenty minutes, and we're all supposed to be experts on whatever it is the story's about, even if we're covering the entire world. It's just not possible.” https://twitter.com/...
Jamie Small / @jamieasmall: “clickbait would bring in revenue while hard-news reporting would build our reputation” - the problem with this popular model is that by definition clickbait gets more views and therefore drags reputation down https://www.cjr.org/...
Martyn McLaughlin / @martynmcl: This is a worrying & familiar account. Some stories take months to research, only to be outclicked by hastily rewritten SEO pieces. Journalism can't conflate the debate over changing revenue models with the even more necessary one about its core values. https://www.cjr.org/...
@swedishbriefs: The UK's Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday are masters of this: “Many of us adopted the strategy of using a *pseudonym* to write... when we needed quick hits.” Except they use it to smear, slander and harass people. “The owners and editors were fine with this” https://www.cjr.org/...
Daryl Ilbury / @darylilbury: “The owners see media as a profitable thing, but it's profitable because they've found an exploitable workforce. There are so many young, earnest, hungry writers who will work for so little”. Sobering @CJR account of the collapse of a former giant. https://www.cjr.org/...
David Uberti / @daviduberti: The dudes who bought Newsweek somehow managed to convert its extremely recognizable brand name into literally nothing in terms of direct visitors to its site. Impressive! https://www.cjr.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Chris Moran / @chrismoranuk: Side note. 'Newsweek isn't alone in crafting its headlines for a search engine; not even the NYT is above writing “Who Is William Barr"'. Writing accurate headlines that help people find good journalism or creating pieces that answer a real need isn't something you descend to
Lara Zarum / @larazarum: This CJR Newsweek piece is giving me flashbacks to my Village Voice internship in 2015, when the then-editors demanded both a.) original reporting that no other journalist in NYC had found and b.) new stories every day, from a two-person reporting team. https://www.cjr.org/...
Abhijit Majumder / @abhijitmajumder: Long story in India. * Reporters in some dailies/channels asked to earn from outside.

Conservative site RedState's decision to publish an explicit photograph of Democratic Rep.

Glenn Greenwald / @ggreenwald: Consensual sex between adults is never anyone else's business & should never be the topic of public moralizing or judgment. There is in this case arguably a coercive element that's legitimately discussed, but it seems more of pretext to justify the moralizing, gawking & scorn: https://twitter.com/...
Quinta Jurecic / @qjurecic: As far as I am aware, the Hill photograph is the first instance in the U.S. in which a politically aligned publication has released nonconsensual pornography depicting a politician of the opposing party affiliation. That's an ugly line to have crossed. https://www.lawfareblog.com/ ...
Quinta Jurecic / @qjurecic: Hill's own account of her actions speaks to extremely poor judgment, at the very least. But the merits of her actions are separate from the issues raised by publishing the photo. https://www.lawfareblog.com/ ...
Heather Timmons / @heathat: Red State, part of “family themed” Salem Media, is co-owned by “Christian, husband, father” @stuepperson. It recently published revenge porn of a sitting Congresswoman (believed to be supplied by her estranged husband) https://www.lawfareblog.com/ ...
Quinta Jurecic / @qjurecic: This is a test of whether the norm against publishing such material is strong enough to shield against a deep fake or a calculated leak of explicit photos meant to influence an election. So far the results are not encouraging. https://www.lawfareblog.com/ ...
