Massive thank you to @SquigglyRick @strangerous10 @maximumwelfare @lukehgomes for their awesome twitter coverage of the #RobodebtRC hearings. Shocking and truly eye opening about how at least some parts of the modern day public sector operates.

A lot of folks in infosec really, really don't get duress models as anything more than a very abstract concept- and from what I've seen, honestly don't care because they think it does not, and never could apply to them or their social circle.

Privatisation, a tale as old as time

Since privatisation, water companies have accrued debts of £48bn (to 2019), resulting in debt interest payments alone of £1.3bn a year. In the same period, despite the debt, they still paid out £58bn in shareholder dividends. National assets robbed & mortgaged.

Google really missed a trick not having a first class mastodon instance with google login etc ready to go. Come to this instance - it’ll be easy to use and have resources for moderation.

There’s at least as much value to Twitter as a platform from verifying important accounts as there is to the owners of them - it makes the platform more trustworthy.

The point of Twitter verification is that for certain individuals/organizations it’s useful to be able to verify their statements are coming from them. (This is why so many journalists/reporters are verified.) It’s supposed to help combat disinformation, not be a status symbol.
