Twitter softens policy on hacking after row over blocked New York Post story
Twitter softens policy on hacking after row over blocked New York Post story
Twitter has softened its policies against the sharing of hacked material after the backlash over its decision to block a New York Post story about Joe Biden’s son. Republican senators declared their intention to subpoena the Twitter co-founder, Jack Dorsey next week, forcing him to explain the decision, after he apologised for the lack of communication about the blocking. The story, supposedly based on materials stolen from Hunter Biden’s laptop by a computer repair shop, was blocked by Twitter on two grounds, the company said. First, it contained personal information such as private email addresses; and second, it contained hacked material, violating a policy instituted in 2018 to try to limit “hack-and-leak” information operations of the sort run by the Russian state in 2016. That latter policy had now been weakened, Twitter’s policy chief, Vijaya Gadde, said late on Thursday.

Snow-lovers can rejoice, this forecast is for you! NOAA just released their annual winter outlook on Thursday, and it’s looking pretty likely the Pacific Northwest will see both a cooler and wetter winter ahead. Now, this doesn’t mean that each day will be snowy, but the averages will likely be cooler and wetter than a typical winter.

Pfizer Inc PFE.N said on Friday it could file in late November for U.S. authorization of the COVID-19 vaccine it is developing, suggesting that a vaccine could potentially be available in the United States by the end of the year. That timeline makes it unlikely, however, that a vaccine will be available before the U.S. election, as President Donald Trump has promised. Pfizer, which is developing the vaccine with German partner BioNTech 22UAy.F, said that it may confirm if the vaccine is effective as soon as this month but that it also needs safety data from a 44,000-person clinical trial that will not be available until next month.

The United States cleared Romania to purchase coastal defense missiles in a $300 million deal, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency announced Friday. The State Department approved the sale of two Naval Strike Missile Coastal Defense Systems and related equipment. The system includes missiles suited for land attack missions because they can climb and descend with the terrain as well as having sea-skimming capabilities.
