NEW @citizenlab.ca report: Cellebrite Used on Kenyan Activist and Politician Boniface Mwangi

citizenlab.ca/research/cel...

Kenyan authorities used Israeli tech to crack activist’s phone, report claims Citizen Lab report suggests Cellebrite software was used to break into Boniface Mwangi’s phone while he was under arrest

Please read our latest on how Israel's Cellebrite is being used to break into the phone of a prominent pro-democracy activist. This time, in Kenya. Guess who else has access to this tool? (with Carlos Mureithi) cc @rondeibert.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

Oh my god, it's a focus group. The people in the focus group are not mouthing pro-Republican messaging, they're talking a lot about how much they hate Trump. I have nothing to do with producing the story. And your reflex response is defamation

It's less lurid than QAnon but it's just as detached from reality

Why would you make an accusation of professional misconduct and political bias of a reporter you know nothing about

I know that there's not really any point in pushing back on this but it's wild how these people don't even bother checking anything

US House Democrat backing El Salvador’s strongman president Vicente Gonzalez tirelessly promoting Nayib Bukele, including reposting calls to ‘impeach corrupt judges’

Here you go. I'm not averse to reporting on Democrats when that is newsworthy and within my usual purview, but I don't really write about electoral politics as such very much. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

At the link below you can read all three of my Bluesky posts that mention Democrats. I don't really write about Democrats? The last story along those lines was in May 2025, when I reported that Vicente Gonzalez attended Bukele's 2nd inauguration. What are you talking about bsky.app/search?q=fro...

I wasn't even trying to pick a fight tbh. I mostly thought it was amusing.

I spend no time "hanging around with Nazis". None. In what ways am I acting like a Nazi? No one is else is paying close attention to this interaction so it is not much of a performance. I didn't repeat any information from any source except the NYT. Is that a Nazi publication, in your view?

This is one of the best speeches in 20th century American politics. RIP

One of the funny things about the 538ization of politics is people will just see a poll now and refuse to believe it or caveat it to death instead of just being like “this is a piece of data that exists.”

So I guess that "the allegation" is that I am some kind of crypto-fascist due to "Media Matters brain". How does the ability to search a website demonstrate that exactly?

Like, seriously bsky.app/search?q=fro...

It's not joking about mental illness, it's mocking your presentation of something you made up as something that really happens. Why do you keep saying people have something wrong with their brain though? bsky.app/profile/i-br...

i am honestly surprised that this went south like this, but i think some people are allergic to the nyt focus groups for some reason

I do not disagree with you!

I'm not joking about mental illness, but our first interaction was you saying that there was something wrong with my brain. How did you think the conversation was going to go?

Lol, I am not in any discords. Have you paused to consider that you don't know anything about me?

Wow so Media Matters brain is an actual psychological illness? Can I claim workers comp?

I don't really post enough to care about that stuff. But good luck with everything!

ICE/CBP’s practice of regularly grabbing citizens, LPRs, people in the wrong house etc has strong shades of the Buttle/Tuttle mixup that launches the plot of Brazil

Maybe not! Maybe there's no problem!

What does Media Matters brain mean in this subculture? I presume it is intended as an insult of some kind? Anyway shouts out to Media Matters reporters!

No the real story is (a) I don't want this to distract me from all the real stuff I have to do (b) Nothing that happens on this website really matters very much anyway. That said, you do you! Good luck!

It's some kind of performance but I am not sure who it is directed at

I mean I think an NYT report on a focus group is obviously tightly scoped, announces its limitations in advance, trades qualitative richness for statistical rigor, etc. Is it *disinformation*? If so I'd say that word is practically empty of any specific meaning at this point.

Okay cool, well then there's nothing to worry about

I just don't have as much time on my hands as you appear to. Good luck with whatever it is you're doing tho
