Saudi Embassy / @saudiembassyusa: Recent media reports that suggest the Kingdom is behind a hacking of Mr. Jeff Bezos' phone are absurd. We call for an investigation on these claims so that we can have all the facts out.
Jeff Bezos / @jeffbezos: #Jamal https://twitter.com/...
Dustin Volz / @dnvolz: NEW: Saudi officials close to MBS tell WSJ they were aware of a plan to hack Bezos' phone, but not of any attempt to blackmail him. Qahtani was involved in the hacking effort as part of a broader intimidation campaign against Khashoggi, officials said. https://www.wsj.com/...

The Daily Beast: Saudi Crown Prince Appeared to Taunt Jeff Bezos Over Secret Affair Before Enquirer Exposé
David Kaye / @davidakaye: a few comments of background in relation to release of our public statement just now - a statement which is *not a report*, as some have characterized it, but a call for investigation in light of serious human rights allegations. report is here: https://www.ohchr.org/... https://twitter.com/...
@pressfreedom: We are deeply alarmed by the allegation that the Saudi crown prince used spyware to undermine or suppress The Washington Post. An independent investigation is urgently needed into the allegations. Our statement: https://cpj.org/... CC: @davidakaye @AgnesCallamard @CPJMENA https://twitter.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: This FTI forensics report is not very strong. Lots of odd circumstantial evidence, for sure, but no smoking gun. The funny thing is that it looks like FTI potentially has the murder weapon sitting right there, they just haven't figured out how to test it. https://twitter.com/...
Mahesh Langa / @langamahesh: Saudi Crown Prince Seemed to Taunt Jeff Bezos Over Secret Affair Before National Enquirer Expose: this is extremely scary the way whatsapp can easily be compromised using Pegasus. Particularly in India where surveillance is rampant. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Here is an update now that I have seen the report. In short, the evidence is circumstantial but there is the possibility to investigate more. https://twitter.com/...
Eamon Javers / @eamonjavers: Um, so just what did these Saudi officials believe the alleged hacking of Bezos' phone was supposed to be for? https://twitter.com/...
Mieke Eoyang / @miekeeoyang: Note to self: Never give your mobile phone number to a Saudi government official. https://twitter.com/...

Emily Bell / @emilybell: Good @alexstamos thread on what happened to Bezos' phone (maybe) https://twitter.com/...
Bruno J. Navarro / @bruno_j_navarro: The targeting of Bezos and The Washington Post fits into a pattern of Saudi aggression against critics, which includes blackmailing, discrediting, and even killing those who speak out against the regime. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ ...
@article19org: ARTICLE 19 supports calls by UN experts @AgnesCallamard and @davidakaye for an independent investigation into the hacking of Jeff Bezos' phone https://www.article19.org/...
@ragipsoylu: Saudi Crown Prince MbS funded trolls below this tweet, still trying hard to spread false information on Khashoggi case. It is really beyond everything. MbS has personally hacked the owner of Washington Post's phone to hide truth about Saudi Arabia. Think about this https://twitter.com/...
Liz Sly / @lizsly: Jeff Bezos & Saudi Crown Prince MBS met at a dinner party. They exchanged WhatsApp numbers & texted “hi.” Then the WhatsApp number for MBS hacked Bezos' phone. Hard not to conclude it was MBS who did the hacking (unless MBS's phone also got hacked?) https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
IPI / @globalfreemedia: The International Press Institute joins U.N. rapportuers @davidakaye and @AgnesCallamard in calling for an investigation into the deeply distubring allegations that Saudi Arabia hacked the phone of @washingtonpost owner Jeff Bezos. https://ipi.media/...

Sheera Frenkel / @sheeraf: NEW - Even MORE details in our story tonight on the investigation into how Jeff Bezos' phone was hacked by the Saudi Crown Prince. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Kara Swisher / @karaswisher: The info you seek on how you hacked Bezos is in the same file cabinet with your plans to murder a journalist. https://twitter.com/...

Rebecca Enonchong / @africatechie: Waiting for the Netflix series. You can't make this up! #BezosHack https://twitter.com/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: Anyway, the idea that this report is the furthest you can go with access to the phone is wrong. The circumstantial evidence is reasonably compelling, but since this is a major national security issue now more eyes need to be on the evidence. FIN
@oamaz7: For more than a year #jamal was focused on 1. Investigating Twitter trolls & bots 2. Revealing news about his arrested Twitter influencer friends, including @Alwaleed_Talal who bailed out Trump twice. In the 1990s by buying his yacht and then again by buying the Plaza Hotel https://twitter.com/...
Ben Hubbard / @nytben: Among its revelations: It wasn't just @JeffBezos. One month after his reported hack, operators linked to Saudi Arabia tried to hack my phone too. Thanks to @citizenlab for checking it out. https://twitter.com/...
Dustin Volz / @dnvolz: More: FBI is investigating the hack, source says. Bezos didn't want to provide his phone directly to the FBI, so FTI Consulting, where several former FBI officials work, conducted probe but stayed in touch with law enforcement, the person said. https://www.wsj.com/...
Patrick Gray / @riskybusiness: There's gonna be a lot of this sort of reporting. Still, it's fun to pretend it's all unquestioningly true and MBS is a one man cyber crime wave terrorising world leaders and billionaires with his giant bag of iOS 0day. https://twitter.com/...
Kim Zetter / @kimzetter: Indeed. As we pointed out in story, FTI should have done a jailbreak on phone to examine full file system, but didn't. As a result, they would have seen less than 50% of what they needed to look at, and they didn't look in places where nation-state malware would normally hide. https://twitter.com/...
David Kaye / @davidakaye: the prescient @MarietjeSchaake - to whom governments should have been listening years ago & today https://twitter.com/...
@blakehounshell: This U.N. report on the Bezos hack draws a line from Jamal Khashoggi criticizing Trump at a D.C. think tank event to his silencing by the Saudi state https://www.ohchr.org/...
Alex Stamos / @alexstamos: If the video is the initial point of exploitation, then there MUST be some evidence of that in the video file itself. It's true that this will just be a first stage exploit that pulls down the rest of the malware, but the actual exploit and a bit of ARM shell must be there.

Ken Klippenstein / @kenklippenstein: The Bernie Sanders campaign was the only one to respond to my request for comment about Brazil's decision to prosecute Glenn Greenwald. The Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Yang, and Steyer campaigns did not. Make of that what you will. https://www.thenation.com/...
Mathew Ingram / Columbia Journalism Review: Brazil's attack on Greenwald mirrors the US case against Assange
David Miranda / The Guardian: A new film argues that Brazil teeters on the brink of authoritarianism. It's true
Jonathan Myerson Katz / @katzonearth: This excellent (as usual) @IChotiner interview with Greenwald reaffirms my basic thesis: that the reason he cares about authoritarianism in Brazil and not in the US is because Brazilian authoritarianism affects him and the US version doesn't https://www.newyorker.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Jonathan Myerson Katz / @katzonearth: I condemned the Bolsonaro govt's persecution of Greenwald yesterday, just like I condemn the Trump administration terrorizing immigrant families and hiding them in concentration camps. They're part of the same global trend. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@wikileaks: Columbia Journalism Review @CJR: Brazil's attack on Greenwald mirrors the US case against Assange. “a heinous attack on freedom of the press protections, something journalists and anyone in favor of free speech should be up in arms about” https://www.cjr.org/...
@jamie_maz: Solidarity w Glenn. He is one of the most courageous journalists out there & one of the few who consistently challenges authority & holds people in power to account. Sadly is the exception and not the norm in the industry. His example inspires my own work at my school. https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Brazil's attack on Greenwald mirrors the US case against Assange — an attempt to get around freedom of the press protections by branding a journalist as a member of a criminal hacking conspiracy. This shouldn't be allowed. My take at CJR: https://www.cjr.org/...
Tao Jonesing / @taojonesing: @stevenmklein Also, I think Glenn is far too casual about the threat Trump poses, and that's because Glen doesn't live here. He has no idea. He is an expatriate pundit who lives in a very nice neighborhood in Rio (I lived in the same neighborhood for a couple of weeks while visiting friends).
Steven Klein / @stevenmklein: Pretty messed up how many ppl are using this interview to settle political scores with Greenwald. I even find pushing him on the Trump - Bolsonaro comparison weird. Clearly Bolsonaro is much much worse! https://twitter.com/...
Michael Luo / @michaelluo: Alarming new @ichotiner interview with @ggreenwald about the charges filed by Brazilian prosecutors against him. “They are genuine authoritarians who don't believe in democracy, don't believe in basic freedoms, and don't believe in a free press.” https://www.newyorker.com/...
Isaac Chotiner / @ichotiner: New Interview: I talked to Glenn Greenwald about the criminal charges filed against him by Brazilian prosecutors, the threats to democracy in Brazil, and his different approaches to the rise of the far-right in Brazil and America. https://www.newyorker.com/...
Tao Jonesing / @taojonesing: @stevenmklein Whether or not Bolsonaro is “worse” in the abstract, Trump is far worse for the U.S. Context matters, and Bolsonaro can do no harm to the U.S. while Trump tears it down every day.
@liabirached: “Neither my husband, nor I, nor our children have left our house in the last year without armed security, armored vehicles, teams of security. We get death threats all the time.” https://www.newyorker.com/... #GlennGreenwald
@brandaonyc: “[In the U.S.] so many institutions that have been dormant under Bush and Obama—the media, the Congress, the courts—are way more adversarial and oppositional. Whereas, I think Brazilian democracy has never been in greater peril.” https://www.newyorker.com/...
Jonathan Myerson Katz / @katzonearth: This quote is contradicted by the whole rest of the interview, in which Greenwald lays out all the different types of resistance to and independence from Bolsonaro that still exist in the Brazilian government. He even compares the federal police to the FBI under James Comey! https://twitter.com/...
Kit / @kitcabello: The censorship of journalists is a death blow to democracy. Now more than ever we independent media and journalists to bring to light the corruption that is impacting us all. https://twitter.com/...
Ken Klippenstein / The Nation: Why Glenn Greenwald's Prosecution Is an Outrage
Mike Masnick / Techdirt: The Similarities Between The US's Case Against Julian Assange And Brazil's Against Glenn Greenwald Are Uncanny
Bernie Sanders / @sensanders: The free press is never more important than when it exposes wrongdoing by the powerful. That is why President Bolsonaro is threatening Glenn Greenwald for the “crime” of doing journalism. I call on Brazil to end its authoritarian attack on press freedom and the rule of law. https://twitter.com/...

Discussion:
Jerry Iannelli / Miami New Times: The Miami Herald Cuts 70 Jobs and Closes Its Printing Plant
Marc Caputo / @marcacaputo: 2) What makes the loss of the Miami Herald printing plant extra maddening is that the owner, McClatchy, stupidly sold the downtown Miami office on Biscayne Bay in 2011 for less than it was worth —but justified the sale saying the Herald needed a new plant, thus moving to Doral
Katie Peralta / @katieperalta: @CltLedger FWIW, on top of his $2.9M/year salary, Forman receives a monthly housing stipend of $5k (not $35k anymore, apparently) @jerryiannelli https://www.sec.gov/...
Tom Namako / @tomnamako: “The Herald built its Doral printing plant eight years ago after McClatchy sold the daily's longtime headquarters overlooking Biscayne Bay to the Malaysian gambling company Genting, which then demolished the building.” https://twitter.com/...
Marc Caputo / @marcacaputo: 1) In giving up its printing plant, the Miami Herald is not only forsaking the means of production that can insure independence —it's relying on a competitor, the Sun Sentinel, to print its product. That's a terrible sign (tweet 1 of 6) https://twitter.com/...
@cltledger: “While McClatchy's top brass is still making gargantuan salaries, its journalists and workers have been forced to do more with less every year.” https://www.miaminewtimes.com/ ...
@sfdb: “The Palm Beach Post moved its printing to the Sun Sentinel in 2009.” So the @SunSentinel is printing 3 South Florida papers in Deerfield Beach now. Wow. https://www.miamiherald.com/ ...
@nicknehamas: Here is the WARN notice the Miami Herald filed with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity after deciding to shut down its printing press. Background: https://www.miamiherald.com/ ... h/t @rjwile https://twitter.com/...
Jerry Iannelli / @jerryiannelli: Reminder that McClatchy CEO Craig Forman in 2019 negotiated a contract giving him a $1 million base salary, $1 million bonus, and $35,000-per-month housing stipend https://www.miaminewtimes.com/ ...

Noah Chestnut / @noahchestnut: �� I'm still not sold on Substack's mission that advertising is the “enemy” For example... what if 5 writers wanted to start a new publication in partnership with @BuySellAds or another more reasonable ad network?
