The "Apple Move" is not "crippling" for Facebook except perhaps for a few days productivity on one platform client; however it _is_ a demonstration of deeply sloppy fuckwittage by whatever team are charged with carrying the #Onavo flag forwards on iOS.
My rant from yesterday, stands; and from feedback I'll adapt my position on #3 somewhat: when you grow to be big enough, perhaps it behooves you to take extra steps to demonstrate clean hands — which the #Onavo data-collection approach did not:

It's quite good to see that #Google looked at the #Facebook mess and decided to do a very quick about-turn with their similar product: techcrunch.com/2019/01/30/goo…

People who call for regulation of centralised Social Media are going to be really, really upset at the distributed solutions they foment to augment/replace the latter. (tl;dr: this article = nope)
Quite:
Hey @BriarApp, you might be interested in whether someone proposes to regulate / ban you.

Q for #NGINX experts: I'm running a reverse proxy (EOTK/Tor) and want to trap when upstream is sending me: "Content-Encoding: gzip" and return (probably) 406, because reasons.

I think I need ngx_http_upstream_module and $upstream_http_content_encoding.

Am I missing anything?
Reason being: I *always* set "Accept-Encoding: identity", the upstream should _never_ send me gzip/etc, but sometimes it does because CDNs and Vary headers are flaky.
The glory that is Lua:

Not to put too fine a point on it, different platforms — Apple, Facebook, Google, Twitter — all have pros & cons when it comes to privacy. There are no absolutes, no magic bullets, no white knights.
For instance, I wonder whether Twitter are integrated with Tor yet? Let's find out if this thumbnails: nytimes3xbfgragh.onion/2019/01/30/tec…
Doubtless some will chime in with YES BUT CAMBIFACEBOOKYTICARESEARCHAPPCERTIFICATES MEANS EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW — but in truth, nothing has changed. People are just more aware, and risk overfocusing on one thing and ignoring the good/bad that is everywhere.

#Facebook & #Twitter are reported by the Russian state press to “report on their compliance with Russian regulations requiring companies to store Russian users’ data on servers located inside Russia. 👇🏼
“If they refused, both companies faced small fines of 5,000 rubles ($75), though Roskomnadzor was careful to point out that it has no current plans to block the social-media giants.“
(the same outlet later revealed that Twitter’s response actually notified Russian officials that the company’s representatives can’t visit Moscow in January.)

Let’s talk about #smearcampaigns: what are they? What do they look like? How do you survive a #smear campaign? We were asked by 🦊 to do a post about smear campaigns and I figured out of all of us, I would be the best one to discuss this publicly because 1.) I’ve been smeared
relentlessly and 2.) I’m writing a book about overcoming smear campaigns. First of all, we need to understand what a #smear campaign is and what it isn’t. Smear campaigns are usually started by people who have a lot of money. These people have something to hide - whether it’s
for a personal reason (such as a family member who abused or neglected somebody and the person is now talking about what they go through) or a public reason (such as those who paid good money to have me smeared to try to silence me and the truth about trump’s trafficking ring).

I want to tell you guys a story about how it all started #10YearsALearner #10YALpodcast
In 2008, I worked as a PR and marketing executive at an event and image consulting company in VI and I was treated well. But I wanted more. I wanted a bigger challenge so I told Kely dear friend and inspiration @iamtheOsagie #10YearsALearner #10YAL
@iamtheOsagie 2 weeks later.. I got a call from @iamtheOsagie and that was the beginning of an adventure…

O: Hey Godwin. Are you still bored?
Me: lol… You have something for me?
O: Would you like to manage an artist?
me: Who?
O: His name is MI
me: ok… send music

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

<thread> Most people have been focused on the question of whether it was a good idea for ADM (Ret) McRaven to violate a civ-mil norm by writing a letter criticizing the President, but Ken raises a good point about whether it will make an impact. I think that’s unlikely. 1/
I’ve done research related to whether endorsements from retired generals & admirals influence elections. The short answer is they probably don’t, and there’s little reason to think McRaven’s letter will either - but it’s not clear-cut. 2/
In the aggregate, the study we did for @CNASdc showed no aggregate effects of endorsements by retired officers in advance of the 2012 election. 3/
