Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

God the EU Commission is exhausting. Do these people seriously think they can demand a “lawful access” backdoor in US-hosted messaging apps, and that US intelligence *won’t* use that tool to relentlessly spy on EU interests? www.politico.eu/article/encr...

A short article of mine on civil-military relations and democratic backsliding had been accepted for publication in the journal "Connections". Then I received an email that the editors can't publish the paper unless I "remove the case study/examples of the United States" (1/x) #CivMilSky

Mis/disinformation research officially cancelled. Understanding the creation, content, distribution, and susceptibility is one of today’s key scientific and societal challenges. Researching this is not free speech infringement. Such a claim is intentionally misleading. www.nsf.gov/updates-on-p...

The Trump regime is now using US Attorneys to intimidate academic journals by sending them letters demanding they explain how they ensure ‘viewpoint diversity.’ Journal editors should be public about this and coordinate to refuse to comply with these fascist tactics.

Journalists are advised not to bring their regular devices to the US in order to protect sources and research material as devices may be searched and/or confiscated. One should also bring important things on paper, should devices be taken. CPJ stops short of warning for the installation of spyware.

Firing the DIRNSA? Insane. Possibly because he didn’t say at the Worldwide Threat Briefing that the Signal thing was no big deal. Also, I’ve heard NSA has been insisting that DOD “what would you say you do here” questions would be only handled through appropriate management channels.

Nu sitter Joakim fängslad i Turkiet. Därför kan han inte göra sitt arbete. Men du kan läsa det han gjort tidigare. Gör gärna det. Och sprid. Jag vet att det skulle betyda mycket för honom. Och det visar vem han är som journalist, oavsett vem som granskas, skriver chefredaktör Andreas Gustavsson.
