Twitter has attempted to define rules for acceptable behavior and mechanisms of enforcement. They have used a mix of algorithms and human oversight. The results have been mixed at best and neither those who favor free speech or more civility have been pleased.
In addition, some of the methods used by Twitter have created viewpoint discrimination which is unacceptable. securitystudies.org/twitter-viewpo…
Twitter has developed multiple tools designed to create a better user experience. While the goal may have been to block spam, bots and abusive accounts, the result has been disproportionately felt by users with conservative political views. This is called shadow banning.

Reminder from the National Security Strategy: America’s competitors weaponize information to attack the values and institutions that underpin free societies, while shielding themselves from outside information.

whitehouse.gov/wp-content/upl…
Risks to U.S. national security will grow as competitors integrate information derived from personal and commercial sources with intelligence collection and data analytic capabilities based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
Breaches of U.S. commercial & government organizations also provide adversaries with data & insights into their target audiences. China, for example, combines data and the use of AI to rate the loyalty of its citizens to the state and uses these ratings to determine jobs & more.

As an enabler of Iranian expansion and Russian force projection, the regime of Bashar al-Assad presents problems for the U.S. and our allies. Here is what keeps the regime afloat and how vulnerable it is at this juncture. securitystudies.org/assad-regimes-…
Syrian civil war destroyed 3/4 of the national economy & wreaked havoc on all sectors, but the regime of Bashar al-Assad was able to weather the storm. While Iran and Russia secured his rule and turned the tide of the war in his favor, Assad managed to remain financially afloat.
Assad remained financially afloat by exhausting Syria’s cash reserves. For example, Syria’s foreign exchange reserves declined from $21 billion in 2010 to less then $1 billion by 2015.

The Obama Administration decided that the Iranian regime was a partner for peace. They were wrong. Now that reality has set back in, all decent people should be standing with the citizens of Iran against the regime. SSG President @Uncle_Jimbo explains with @LizMacDonaldFOX
The Iranian people are sick & tired of their repressive leaders who rule with an iron fist and the religious police who enforce a strict Islamist code. Protests by citizens in Iran keep getting bigger & more widespread & the regime is getting more violent. foxnews.com/opinion/2018/0…
The main issues (sparking protests) are economic, yet the main chants are ‘death to the dictator’ and ‘death to Rouhani.’ The grievances are increasing daily yet there is no prospect for their betterment, the latter only creates more frustration. securitystudies.org/window-irans-p…
