Facebook asks me what's on my mind. Twitter asks me what's going on. LinkedIn wants me to reconnect with my colleagues. And YouTube tells me what to watch. #SocialMedia is no reality show or Big Brother. It's but a smothering mother!

If you're thinking of doing a #socialmedia spring clean, start with those who never like or comment on anything you post - they're just #spying on you. Next, lose the ones who only contact you when they have something to sell or promote - they're #using you.

Senator, who has repeatedly warned about secret US #GovernmentSurveillance, sounds new alarm over ‘ #CIA activities’
by Zack Whittaker, February 6, 2026
Excerpt: "In 2011, #RonWyden said that the U.S. government was relying on a secret interpretation of the #PatriotAct, which he said — without disclosing the nature of his concerns — created a 'gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.'
"Two years later, then- #NSA contractor #EdwardSnowden revealed that the National Security Agency was relying on its secret interpretation of the Patriot Act to force U.S. phone companies, including Verizon, to turn over the call records of hundreds of millions of Americans on an ongoing basis.
"Since then, Wyden has sounded the alarm on how the U.S. government collects the contents of people’s communications; revealed that the Justice Department barred Apple and Google from disclosing that federal authorities had been secretly demanding the contents of their customers’ push notifications; and said that an unclassified report that #CISA has refused to release contains 'shocking details' about national security threats facing U.S. phone companies.
"As noted by Techdirt’s Mike Masnick, we may not know yet why Wyden sounded the siren about the CIA’s activities, but every time Wyden has warned, he has also been vindicated."

@Vittoria I would suggest that rather than working for / with a particular government that he was instead an information broker working on an unimaginable level.
@CatDragon
Yes, it seems more & more likely, that #Epstein (& perhaps some of his ‘associates’) was: “ an information broker working on an unimaginable level”. It will be interesting to see what the Poles find - they have long & deep experience of #Ruzzian interference. 🤔
