This is the moment some people realize
(1) the people writing code that we use are actually making decisions
(2) after #forkoff somebody needs to write damn code

When someone tells you to "Just fork it" it is always a power play from their side. They are saying it because they know that you alone can't do anything about it.

They know you can't fork it if you're not a coder.

They know you can't fork it if you only understand front-end stuff.

They know you can't fork it alone.

Telling someone you know can't fork it to do it is equivalent to Fuck off, or #ForkOff as some other people said it.

We have watched, with growing concern, the challenges reporters in our network face in #Hungary, the #CzechRepublic, and #Serbia. They’ve been smeared, threatened and even imprisoned.

On this #WorldPressFreedomDay, and every day, OCCRP honors the sacrifices our colleagues make in their commitment to uncovering the truth and speaking it to authority.

We also remember the journalists killed doing their work, including #JanKuciak and #DaphneCaruanaGalizia.

I remember people telling me domain fronting will solve all problems, and me feeling queasy about relying on big players so much.

Google killed it last month, Amazon is killing it now.

#FML

Also, interesting: a)> there had to be a misconfiguration in Amazon/Google infras; b). #Signal was using it apparently without Amazon/Google approval?

#InfoSec

#MastoDON'T
