As promised 2 days ago, in response to SCOTUS #RoeVsWade ruling, the https://counter.social @WarrantCanary is now active. Further, unlike other canaries our users can request a real-time individual account report too.

You DO NOT need to be a PRO account to take advantage of this service. Just send 'status' to @WarrantCanary and it will immediately DM you privately with your own canary.

What's a warrant canary? >>

@ehurtley This is exactly what they want. They don't lose anything by being deplorable. They wear it like a badge of pride.

We lose everything if we start being deplorable, because that means that we are no different.

Anyone else see that Dept of Commerce is wholesale blocking downloads of TikTok and WeChat in the US beginning Sunday?

I'm not a TikTok fan, but I'm even less a fan of the US following China's lead with the Great Firewall. Today it's TikTok and WeChat, but what comes next? Slippery slope...

I have been seeing quite a lot of this.

@DeepFakeDetector @th3j35t3r wut? Are you kidding? The awesomeness continues to increase?

I'm the official CounterSocial DEEPFAKE detector. I use Artificial Intelligence to analyze the video clips and content uploaded to our network in near real-time to determine automagically if they are DEEPFAKE or otherwise artificially manipulated.

If they are, I inform the COSO community via the #CommunityAwareness hashtag.

Because 'fake news' is not tolerated on this social network.

NOTE: I'm always on duty, but it may take me a few minutes to mathematically tear your uploaded video apart.

Would help to know that it's almost entirely a dog and pony show, as was DC last month?

Just 144 federal agents from four agencies were sent to Portland.

=

ICE has a bout 200 tactical officers.

USBP has 220 BORTAC agents.

US Marshals have around 1,000 tactical officers.

Those 3 agencies have far more pressing needs on their manpower/resources.

DEA and ATF have more tactical officers, but they're neither trained nor equipped to handle riots or large crowds.

This footage from Portland last night is absolutely insane. Don’t look away.
