@UK_Daniel_Card @CyberAlexi @rotate26chars The Geneva Conventions have not stopped Putin from committing wholesale war crimes. They have only been partially effective at slowing American use of war crimes. Rules without enforcement are just lip service.

@UK_Daniel_Card @CrispinCowan0 @rotate26chars It’s all these years of waging dialectic war with people who think they know what war is.
If this is my last hurrah on this burning platform I’ll go out with a bang.

@CyberAlexi @CrispinCowan0 @rotate26chars Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🤣 you have a wonderful way with words my friend! X

@CrispinCowan0 @UK_Daniel_Card @rotate26chars Can I just suggest that if you think war is like MMA with no rules there’s a document that my colleagues and I would suggest you read.
It’s called the Geneva Conventions.
I’ve no idea where to even start with some of the madness above. @UK_Daniel_Card why do you hate me?

@rotate26chars @UK_Daniel_Card I am saying that all #infosec ("cyber" in gov speak) shares a property with war that there is no higher power imposing any rules on the belligerents. Either side can deploy any tactics they choose, and no one can stop them except the other side. It is #MMA, but without a referee

@UK_Daniel_Card @rotate26chars Or, don't bother, because my infosec-as-war model has worked very well for me for 25 years. But if rot26 would like to explain, I will read it.

.@SenWarren @SenSanders @SenMikeLee: "The term 'end-use monitoring' appears to be a misnomer as DoD and DoS’ EUM programs do not, in fact, monitor how U.S.-origin equipment is used."

The @metpoliceuk is testing public opinion, announcing today they’re “considering” deploying live facial recognition surveillance around the Coronation.

Okay, so I see a number of smart people in my feed getting really exercised about this New Jersey state appellate court case on insurance coverage and NotPetya.
