Karen Attiah / @karenattiah: I wasn't gonna tweet the colorful language I would like to say about this. I was going to say this is f***king insane. But it's not.

Steve Kopack / @stevekopack: The WhatsApp message that hacked Jeff Bezos' phone was just the start of a “massive and unauthorised exfiltration of data” that went on “for months.” A forensic analysis found that “dozens of gigabytes” of data was exported from his device after the hack. https://www.ft.com/...
@pressfreedom: Saudi experts told @guardian's @skirchy “they believed Bezos was probably targeted because of his ownership of the Post and its coverage of Saudi Arabia. Khashoggi's critical columns about Mohammed bin Salman...rankled the crown prince and his inner circle"https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
@iyad_elbaghdadi: Let's put it this way - MBS was only emboldened enough to murder Jamal Khashoggi *after* he had compromising material on Jeff Bezos, who owns the Washington Post for which Jamal Khashoggi worked.
@iyad_elbaghdadi: 4. The Bezos hack was not about Amazon. It was about the Washington Post 5. There is an extensive forensic report upcoming 6. Full details around this will become available to the public in a few months
@wajahatali: I've tweeted this story 3 times today because it is so insane and huge and MBS is so utterly corrupt and villainous and has bragged that Kushner is in “his pocket.” Carry on. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Hayes / @chrislhayes: Literally the same people who said the accusation that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi Embassy was absurd and paranoid. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Wait. There's *also* a Sundance angle to the Bezos/MBS/Khashoggi/Enquirer/Dickpick/ Trump/Amazon story? And that movie happens to debut two days after today's UN report on the same story? https://thedissident.com/ https://twitter.com/...

Aki Peritz / @akiperitz: Jeff Bezos' obvious move is to sue the firms that provided this tech to the Saudis into the ground. In every jurisdiction. Show there are serious financial consequences to hacking private citizens. Burn these companies to the ground with your infinite wealth. https://twitter.com/...
David Simon / @aodespair: Wasn't there a Washington Post journalist who had good contacts throughout a Saudi Arabia who could have probed this? Oh wait. Never mind. You murdered him, dismembered the body and tried to cover up the crime. Also, pro tip: Hacking is a term you guys should eschew for a while. https://twitter.com/...

Roula Khalaf / @khalafroula: A report on the hack seen by the Financial Times says Mr Bezos' phone started surreptitiously sharing vast amounts of data immediately after receiving an apparently innocuous, but encrypted video file from Saudi Crown prince's WhatsApp account. https://www.ft.com/...
Binyamin Appelbaum / @bcappelbaum: We're about to to find out whether messing with a billionaire's phone is going to be a bigger international problem for Saudi Arabia than killing one of that billionaire's employees. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Kaz Weida / @kazweida: I'll give you one guess why MBS targeted Bezos. It starts with Khash and ends with oggi and it was something to do with a little newspaper Amazon owns called the Washington Post. https://twitter.com/...
Stephanie Kirchgaessner / @skirchy: The alleged hacking of Jeff Bezos in 2018 by an account belonging to Mohammed bin Salman was not an isolated incident. It was part of a pattern. You can read more about it here. Jamal Khashoggi was dead 6 months later. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...

Alex Sherman / @sherman4949: Putting aside the story itself, Quibi's statement is not good. It calls the article materially inaccurate and then doesn't say what's wrong.

Ezra Klein / @ezraklein: Like others, I've had my disagreements with @ggreenwald over the years. But this isn't the time for those.

Jeremy Scahill / @jeremyscahill: The reporting that my friend & colleague @ggreenwald has done in Brazil has been incredible, brave and has had a tremendous impact. He has done this reporting under threats from the fascist Bolsonaro regime. This is a tyrant's desperate attempt to silence independent journalism.

Susan Hennessey / @susan_hennessey: Glenn Greenwald has called me a “deceitful” mouthpiece of the national security state and I assure you I've rarely had a nice thing to say about him. But this is an outrageous assault on press freedom that should alarm every American. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Peter Sterne / @petersterne: @trevortimm @ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr Just as I thought. The point is to criminalize investigative journalism by treating journalists as criminal co-conspirators rather than journalists. And it's not just Brazil; federal prosecutors in the US have made similar arguments. https://www.nytimes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Margaret Sullivan / @sulliview: @ggreenwald According to @guardian reporting, Brazil's own federal police stated it was “not possible to identify (his) moral or material participation” in any illegal activity. https://www.theguardian.com/ ...
Rep. Don Beyer / @repdonbeyer: I've been criticized, I think unfairly, by Greenwald - but public officials deserve scrutiny and criticism. That's what happens under a free press, which is vital in a democratic society. The alternative is far worse. Persecuting critics is a step backwards that hurts Brazil. https://twitter.com/...

Ryan Grim / @ryangrim: This is the correct take. Even if you hate Glenn — *especially* if you hate Glenn — this is a time to stand up for journalism and against authoritarianism. https://twitter.com/...
@rosental: This is an absurd accusation, a stretch. The prosecutors who were exposed by @ggreenwald seem to be seeking revenge. The dialogue cited by them shows that Glenn was trying to protect his sources in the leak and not participating in criminal activities. https://twitter.com/...
Michael Tracey / @mtracey: Outrageous but predictable consequence of journalism that actually challenges power https://www.nytimes.com/...
Peter Sterne / @petersterne: @trevortimm @ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr That's probably why Brazilian prosecutors are trying to frame Glenn as a hacker's accomplice instead of a journalist, so that press freedom considerations won't apply. That's why it's so important for press freedom groups to stand in solidarity with Glenn.
Alex Howard / @digiphile: @ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr @StateDept @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @SecPompeo In the US, reporting on hacked or leaked materials isn't a crime. Cf. @NYTimes vs. USA: https://www.oyez.org/... (Assisting hackers may be, under the CFAA: Watch Assange case.) But to criminalize reporting on leaked docs would be to literally criminalize journalism. Brazil teeters
Michael Brendan Dougherty / @michaelbd: This is almost certainly garbage. One of the proofs of Glenn Greenwald's value to journalism is that his work genuinely bothers people with power. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: @ggreenwald @TheInterceptBr This sharpens the question about how the US government views journalists & supports press freedom: https://twitter.com/... Is it the official @StateDept position? Or @realDonaldTrump's illiberal @WhiteHouse? Or will @SecPompeo remain silent & smile at enemies of the free press? https://twitter.com/...
Trevor Timm / @trevortimm: @ggreenwald The Brazilian Supreme Court ruled a few months ago that the Bolsonaro admin *must* drop its investigation into @ggreenwald and @TheInterceptBr because it violated their press freedom rights. Clearly they ignored the court order. https://theintercept.com/...
Dave Zirin / @edgeofsports: A fascistic, authoritarian government that genuflects towards Trump is now charging journalists for doing their job. Should be acknowledged as an international outrage. https://www.nytimes.com/...

Byron Tau / @byrontau: Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who won a Pulitzer Prize for publishing the Snowden revelations about the NSA, has been criminally charged in Brazil over the publication of hacked cellphone messages of Brazilian officials, the New York Times reports. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Alex Howard / @digiphile: 🚨 Brazilian prosecutors charged @ggreenwald for reporting on text messages, claiming he's part of a “criminal organization” that hacked into cellphones: https://www.nytimes.com/... Context: @TheInterceptBr published records from an anti-corruption taskforce: https://theintercept.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Tommy Vietor / @tvietor08: This is a blatant effort by an authoritarian regime to silence @ggreenwald and intimidate the press. Bolsonaro is a corrupt b-team fascist. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@yashar: No matter what you think of @ggreenwald, this is clearly an investigation motivated by Brazil's homophobic President who behaves like an autocrat and doesn't want to have corruption exposed. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dylan Matthews / @dylanmatt: Regardless of your personal feelings about Glenn, this is a regime with deep authoritarian tendencies personally targeting a critical journalist. It's a horrendous abuse of power that everyone should denounce. https://www.nytimes.com/...

@russforus2020: Journalism is NOT A CRIME: Deeply disturbed to hear that the homophobic, fascist Bolsonaro regime is charging @ggreenwald with ‘cybercrimes,’ an attempt to silence his courageous reporting of widespread govt corruption in Brazil.

Azadeh Shahshahani / @ashahshahani: This is truly outrageous & sets a dangerous precedent.
