@EU_Commission When will be forced to stop their blatant discrimination against Tor users?

Just because I use Tor, doesn't mean I'm second-class netizen who must be asked to pass captcha at ever step. No, I'm not a robot! No, I shouldn't have to prove it every 10 minutes!

@ZN Nice to hear! Andrew @andrewstroehlein (and HRW in general) were among those people who helped me keep my sanity while navigating the Twitter cesspool.

Taliban authorities in are committing the crime against humanity of gender persecution against women and girls.

The International Criminal Court’s ongoing investigation in Afghanistan could provide a path toward accountability.

@andrewstroehlein I still find it unbelievable and inexcusable that the the free world fought tooth and nail against the IS in Syria, and at the same time allowed Taliban to take control of Afghanistan. This nightmare could've been avoided.

The IS was grotesque in its brutality but Taliban is no less cruel. Just because they are slightly more subtle, doesn't make them legitimate.

Twitter is much less important in the EU news & policy bubble than it used to be. 3 articles:

@andrewstroehlein I don't know who Matthias Lüfkens is, but I know full well what Twitter really is. Several years ago it was filled to the brim with trollbots of all kinds. It's relatively better now, but in absolute numbers the situation is still terrible.

I've been fighting bots for years. My poor eyes have seen things I wouldn't wish anyone to see. I'll gladly choose a more productive "Splinternet" over more of that time-wasting hate-poisoned digital ghetto.

    @jsrailton Most of your examples are complete sentences far beyond the limited capability of a typical Trump apologist.

    I'd bet on something like "WITCH HUNT!", "HUNTER'S LAPTOP!" and "HER EMAILS!". Those of us who are still on Twitter (or is it Xwitter now?) are going to see a lot of this crap in the coming days.
