Twitter has major security problems that pose a threat to its own users' personal information, to company shareholders, to national security, and to democracy, according to an explosive whistleblower disclosure obtained exclusively by CNN and The Washington Post.
I think in many or most of such cases, learning who these people really are would have a net positive effect on global security.
It could impact a ton of activists doing work they may be jailed or killed for where they’re from and queer people in unsafe environments. Victims of stalking, too.
I’m not really sure whose location and real identity could be revealed that would make anything better apart from being able to egg some racist shitposter’s house lol
A lot of those so-called activists are not even real people but posting fake propaganda for this or that government.
I know real activists with real OpSec problems on Twitter. I’m actually consulting them on the risks of posting to such a site. Security issues with twitter are security issues for people.
Why don’t you post your address here on Lemmy? Why do you post from an alias and not your real name?
