@qjurecic Honstely from the story, it just seems sorta like a short cut that relies entirely on just assuming that twitter aint gonna tell anyone out of like patriotic duty. Which makes me think that perhaps this was learned behavior cause they've done similar things with other tech companies and it wasnt a problem.
@qjurecic I never was in the ops shop side of things, so maybe this just isnt as weird to leave an unclass paper trail atrributable to the unit and general idea of what you wanted to do. But i'd have put my money on the ops side making non-attributable accounts and then not asking twitter for help at all (ala the russians).
Or if they did need help, then securing some sorta NDA for the info that would prevent this sorta thing from being publicized a few years later.
@AuDHDiego@mastodon. Yeah I guess from their perpective its not a win-lose scenario.
@qjurecic Or if its gonna do it, then it probably should develop the capabilities to keep it all in house in order to avoid having to leave an embarrassing paper trail at various tech companies.
Like I expect that if they wanted to do some similar info op with TikTok, they wouldn't just email bytedance and say, "oh hey, can you just give us superuser status for these 50 accounts."
@AuDHDiego Maybe but it removes the issues with typos that only clearly emerge after I click send. Which makes it light years ahead of the bird site.
@qjurecic I'm actually quite suprised to see the backend comms on this being direct from the SOCOM J3 office to [email protected].
I'd bet a lotta dollars against a lotta doughnuts that all of the other communications regarding the use of these accounts was highside if not JWICS. MISO has this weird blend that sorta requires some unclass coordination to do very not unclass things, but I wonder how much they thought through "here is out list and how we want them" coming through email.
Not that I really expected anything different, but *sigh*
So the lame duck omnibus Immigration deal was supposed to be a bunch of new enforcement money and title 42 in exchange for an expanded DACA with path to LPR plus a bunch of other fixes.
After intense negotiations the dems have exchanged a bunch of new enforcement money for... nothing.
And title 42 was frozen in place by SCOTUS.
Cool.
@kathryntewson @torriangray Its much safer injected directly in the spine than exposing oneself through touching money that somebody thinks has sat in the same room as a few grams at some point in the last week.
