Will Cathcart / @wcathcart: At the time, we worked with @CitizenLab, who identified 100+ cases of abusive targeting of human rights defenders and journalists in 20+ countries. But today's reporting shows that the true scale of abuse is even larger, and with terrifying national security implications.
Will Cathcart / @wcathcart: In 2019, @WhatsApp discovered and defeated an attack from NSO. They rely on unknown vulnerabilities in mobile OSes, which is one of the reasons why we felt it was so important to raise awareness of what we'd found. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Will Cathcart / @wcathcart: Thank you to @Microsoft, @Google, @Cisco, @VMWare, the @InternetAssn and others who have spoken up against the perils of giving spyware firms like NSO immunity.

How would their viewers respond if they knew that Fox hosts have been vaccinated?🤬 #FoxNewsLies #GetVaccinated https://twitter.com/...
Max Boot / @maxboot: Do as Fox does: implement vaccine mandates for stores, businesses, airplanes, etc. Like I said in @PostOpinions: https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Jon Schwarz / @schwarz: I find it hard to wrap my mind around the contempt and hate that Fox News has for their audience. https://twitter.com/...
Jesse Lee / @jessecharleslee: There have been massive stories written on Fox and vaccinations, complete with Fox spokespeople commenting, and they deliberately decided not to mention this. Really suggests that they are quite conscious of what they are doing. https://twitter.com/...
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: More brazen hypocrisy from Fox. This time, on the concept of vaccine passports... https://www.cnn.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Helen Kennedy / @helenkennedy: Fox is issuing a “Fox Clear Pass” to vaccinated employees allowing them to take off their masks at work - the place where they go to tell people that requiring vaccination passes is evil and fascist. https://twitter.com/...
John Whitehouse / Media Matters for America: At Fox, the call for vaccine passports was coming from inside the house

Andrew Wallenstein / @awallenstein: Here's what CNN is saying so far about CNN+: 👉🏼Launching in Q1 2022 👉🏼8-12 hours of original live daily content each day 👉🏼Current CNN stars will have their own CNN+ shows 👉🏼Catalog of past CNN series/docs available 👉🏼Includes viewer interactivity Here's what else to expect...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: CNN is hiring hundreds of people and developing dozens of programs for a subscription streaming service. It's called CNN+ and it's launching in the first quarter of 2022. Here's my @CNNBusiness story with all the details https://www.cnn.com/...
Matthew Belloni / @mattbelloni: CNN is soooo lucky the other streamers haven't cared much about news, it shouldn't have taken this long for CNN+ to exist... https://www.cnn.com/...
Sarah Jorgensen / @sarahljorgensen: .@brianstelter's thread summarizes really well why this is such a massive deal. this isn't a run of the mill streaming service... https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Jeff Zucker's statement in the press release signals the ambition of @CNNplus: “CNN invented cable news in 1980, defined online news in 1995 and now is taking an important step in expanding what news can be by launching a direct-to-consumer streaming subscription service in 2022”
Gay Lumberjack / @cranepurveyor: This is like Blackberry launching a new Blackberry App Store. https://twitter.com/...
Marc E. Elias / @marceelias: A perfect time for @CNN to create a show dedicated exclusively to voting rights and democracy. A TV version of @DemocracyDocket. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: CNN+ is like CNN except it costs extra and doesn't have the stuff CNN has. https://twitter.com/...
Will Oremus / @willoremus: Building a whole other, second CNN for people who don't have cable, and putting it all behind a paywall, feels like letting the business model dictate your editorial model. https://www.cnn.com/...
Andrew Wallenstein / @awallenstein: CNN+ will not be bundled with HBO Max at launch but sources say that's likely a matter of time. And Discovery+ could be part of that bundle as well post-merger.
Will Oremus / @willoremus: I hope I'm wrong! More journalism is a good thing, and we do need experiments bc the status quo isn't working. Maybe if they use it as a chance to radically rethink the cable-news format, they could have something worthwhile, idk. https://twitter.com/...
Gene Park / @genepark: as @brianstelter writes, tens of millions access CNN via cable. nevermind netflix when a single streamer can boast the same audience size. it's about time news took this seriously and in a way that invests in it. https://www.cnn.com/...
Donie O'Sullivan / @donie: “CNN is hiring about 450 people for CNN+, from producers to engineers to marketers.” https://www.cnn.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Another analog is Fox Nation. But again, don't know what CNN's version of Tucker Carlson superfans would be.
Peter Kafka / Vox: What is CNN+ and why would you pay for it? — The newest streaming service doesn't make sense …
Steve Beynon / @stevenbeynon: @WillOremus I feel like this move is 3-4 years late. But there is a market for actual streaming news, no one really does it. If they can make segments longer, looking at podcasts as inspiration, and less TV looking, more “real” - there might be something there.
Sam Rutherford / Gizmodo: CNN Is Launching a Streaming Service Called CNN+ Because That's What Streaming Services Are Called
Dieter Bohn / @backlon: Anyway, it's no surprise CNN is giving a streaming subscription service. Whomst among us has not secretly desired to Go90?
Keith Boykin / @keithboykin: CNN is launching a new streaming service in 2022 with 8-12 hours of daily live programming, original series, new CNN+ content and an “interactive community” allowing subscribers to engage with talent. The network is hiring 450 people for the project. https://www.cnn.com/...
Jason Kilar / @jasonkilar: So much conviction for this. Excited for all that @CNNplus portends for audiences, for @CNN and for the world class CNN team. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Wallenstein / @awallenstein: Asked if CNN Plus could try something like “The Daily Show,” or a game show, Morse replied, “There's a host of non-fiction storytelling that can be really entertaining...I think we're going to have to try things. We can't be afraid to take some chances on this platform.”
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Here's why this moment feels like a TV news milestone. Tens of millions of people access CNN TV through a cable/satellite bundle. The brand generates more than a billion $'s in profit annually, largely from subscriber fees and ads. But every network needs a streaming strategy...
Tom Bevan / @tombevanrcp: So, in other words, following a couple of years behind Fox. https://twitter.com/...
Gabrielle Sanchez / The A.V. Club: CNN joins the streaming wars with its own service, CNN Plus
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: “This is the most important launch for CNN since Ted Turner launched the network in June of 1980,” says CNN Worldwide chief digital officer @MorseA. https://www.cnn.com/...
Dylan Byers / @dylanbyers: Everytime someone launches a “+” streaming service I wonder if they'll keep or drop the “+” once that service becomes the primary/only product and the original brand (sans “+") ceases to exist.
Andrew Wallenstein / @awallenstein: What I learned from my interview about CNN+ from CNN chief digital officer Andrew Morse: 👉🏼Price TBD, but no ad-supported version at launch 👉🏼Will launch U.S. only, but global expansion to come 👉🏼450 hires to come in the next 6-9 months
Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp: I got sent the press release about this and the phrase that struck me was that it would serve “CNN superfans” - I mean, I'm sure they exist but it's weird when they put it like that. https://twitter.com/...
Peter Kafka / @pkafka: Similar to ESPN/ESPN+, except that ESPN+ is stocked with niche sports that most people don't want but a small number of people will pay for. That has worked for ESPN+ but I don't know what the news version of small-time college sports is.
Jeremy Mathai / /Film: CNN to Launch CNN+ Streaming Service in 2022
Carlos Lozada / @carloslozadawp: “CNN is effectively building a parallel track, right next to its existing TV track, to serve both existing cable subscribers who want additional programming and customers who don't have cable at all.” https://www.cnn.com/...
Julia Alexander / @loudmouthjulia: “CNN+ will...provide a new, additive experience that complements the core CNN linear networks and digital platforms to serve CNN superfans, news junkies and fans of quality non-fiction programming.” Interested to see if online first news junkies (Twitter) will use an SVOD option. https://twitter.com/...
Travis Fain / @travisfain: I get the need to move away from the cable model and into streaming, but who are the people who look at the cable news landscape and think “I need more.” https://twitter.com/...
